Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

GazerRise Fantastic!

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

njoco The whole crew should look for a different job. It can't be worse than this. The whole movie doesn't make any sense. It's just a random pick of different "anti-American" nations who need uncle Sam to come and spank each till they reason themselves. The “bad” guys are the Serbs but no one in the movie speaks any Serbian. The resistance is supposed to be Muslims who fight the Serbs but their names are very much Christian. Also it always seems that Russian tanks make more noise than damage…how is it possible to miss 5 people from 20 yards shooting from a tank? I can go forever like this but the movie is not worth it. Don't waste your time with it.

A_Roode Let's not beat around the bush: 'Sniper 2' is a very lame, clichéd mess that isn't worth your time. I enjoyed the first movie but hardly thought it qualified for sequel treatment. I think the two main weaknesses for 'Sniper 2' are the acting of essentially the entire supporting cast and the writing itself. The script is just plain awful. I watch a lot of movies, and I know my clichés -- hey I've got one in the opening line of THIS REVIEW!! Mine was intended to be ironic. Many of the ones in 'Sniper 2' were not (no, they opted for unintentional humour instead). As I write this, I am desperately trying to drive all memory of the film out of my memory. Hilariously clichéd drivel abounds, from Cole (Bokeem Woodbine) telling Pavel that he and three of his fellow special forces soldiers were called 'The Four Horsemen,' to the stunningly unsurprising revelation that he was the horseman ... you guessed it, called Death. Earlier in the film he explains to Beckett (Tom Berenger) in a misguided attempt at ironic humour that everyone should "Join the Marines, travel the world, make new friends... and kill 'em." There are many others. Only one made me laugh though. Without getting into the ridiculously overwrought and poorly delivered plot, Cole wants to explain to Beckett why he once killed a man. This was the exchange:Cole: "You never asked me." Beckett: "Asked you what?" Cole: "WHY I KILLED THAT MUTHAF*expletive*!!!" Beckett: "That's because I don't care about you enough as a person to be interested."The humour there is actually double-layered. It is one of the series' and Beckett's signature trademarks: irascible Beckett gets to zing his sidekicks with witty one-liners. On a second level it is depressingly honest about the main flaw in both the performances and the script. You don't actually care about any of the characters with the exception of Beckett. In a film about two men trying to free a political prisoner, do YOU think that they've succeeded from a writing and acting perspective if you catch yourself cheering more strongly with each frame for the death of every character on screen? Or maybe your own so that you don't have to watch anymore? Not to diminish the acting ability of Bokeen Woodbine (probably not just saying that because he could crush me with his martial arts ability, and dare I say it, unleash the four horsemen of the apocalypse and death on me) but he just isn't a strong enough actor to have a meaty part like this. No, not even in a shameless low-budget money grab like 'Sniper 2.''Sniper 2' is saved from being a disaster and dragged kicking and screaming up to mediocrity by two things. The first is the ever under-rated Tom Berenger. Berenger is just awesome in this and great fun to watch. Although the really great roles haven't fallen out of the sky for him lately, you can still see that he's great fun and a big talent on screen. Surrounding yourself with stilted, wooden and completely inept performances helps, but Berenger is worth watching. The second thing is an extended sniper battle in the final act of the film. It goes on for quite some time and I thought that it was very well staged and filmed. Whether the wait in getting to that point is too much or not, I don't know. I would be inclined to suggest that anyone interested in finding out should probably reconsider. I wish I had.

refinedsugar Sniper 2 is not worth your time. I had no misconceptions about this flick beforehand, but I admit disappointment in being proved right. The original Sniper on it's own level was definitely enjoyable so it was only by being a fan of the original that made sitting through this mildly bearable. I have a real hard time envisioning people who aren't familiar with the original Sniper enjoying (much less watching) this. Sniper 2 carries the original's moniker, but it's only through the miracle of direct-to-video bastardization that it lands at our feet.For those unfamiliar with the original, the underlying story followed hard-ass Sgt. Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger) in the Panamanian jungle where he put to use his excellent sniping skills and jungle know-how for the US government carrying out sanctioned "hits" so to speak. Without giving away any deeper plot elements or spoilers to the original film - and as you can probably piece together yourself - he survived the first time out and is back for more in "2".Surprisingly Sniper 2 actually rolls out with a nice atmospheric opening.... that lasts all of two minutes. After that my dismal expectations were met and the brief goodness gave away to the bad. For instance the movie pulls out a tried and true scene where two agency suits show up to recruit Beckett for a mission. The set-up is low energy verging on lousy all except for Beckett's "price" for doing the off the books job which rings true to character. The actual mission itself is so uninteresting and basic that I just knew I was about to see betrayals and lies pop out sooner or later. So color me unimpressed in the story department, but at least there's Beckett. This time around he's teamed up with Jake Cole (Bokeem Woodbine). A US marine we're told is on death row, but for reasons never drawn upon, fleshed out or explained. This is the extent of Cole's character development too. Again after the fiasco of the original, I'd suspect Beckett would be a tad more apprehensive about new partners, but Cole's record "7 real world missions. 3 confirmed" seems to put him at ease. So with all the loose pieces in place the duo trot off to some nondescript European locale to bounce a bullet off some third world would-be dictator. The fact the movie can't even carry out the set-up nor the actual act with a modest amount of energy pretty much dictates the rest of this mess. Only towards the end of the film does the flick come close to something worthwhile and the only thing that barely salvages this train wreck is Berenger's return as Beckett.It feels as if everyone involved in this movie knew that they were making junk because Sniper 2 never once feels like anything more than a direct to video experience. The story, the sights, the smells, it's got as much excitement as peeling carrots. It's technically well made from a workman's perspective, but it's blunt, lacking both atmosphere and excitement. Making things worse is it doesn't even make for a decent sniper movie. Some parts of the film feel like they could have been fitted into almost any other B-grade action movie and had some sniping angle tacked on to them afterwards for namesake. Having also been removed from the jungle and placed amongst streets and bombed out scenery robs much atmosphere and much needed backdrop for a movie supposed to be primarily about snipers and their art.Take for instance one scene that happens on a public street. There's machine guns firing off, things blowing up, the ramming of cars, characters running, a fireball explosion -- everything you need to get the juices pumping. Yet there is no excitement and there is no sniping. The last half tries to get something going by spring-boarding in this rival enemy sniper, but by this point it's hopeless. All the film's enemies up to this point were underdeveloped and this enemy sniper is no different. Not to mention the whole dueling sniper aspect is rushed and rather short having been tacked onto the near end. Blah.Sniper 2 is just by-the-numbers film making. The kind of bad sequel we all expect these days. The only people who should be disappointed to see how truly mediocre it is are fans of the original. If you fall in that boat be forewarned. Beckett is back and while the movie does expand on his character, the whole thing is dull.

Darko 83 (Darko_Serbia) What country??? Nice question. 1:Who is that Serbian general,I didn't see any Serb in this film,but Hungarians with Serbian names who speaks Magyar. 2:Where were the Muslim population in Hungary,and that destroyed village (if exist) is in Bosnia which is not even near Hungary. 3:Muslim,Afro-American,Serb etc. are speaking Magyar (Hungarian language) Yeah what are the chances for that 0.0000001%. 4:SFOR Choper? How does it fit in this story? Bosnia is more than 300 km away from Hungary,and when they have crossed the border (and where in their imagination-parallel world like Harry Potter stuff). 5:This is some poor Hungarians effort to make a movie with the best movie maker's in the world (USA) but it has no point at all. The script has no sense at all. Note:This movie is not worth to spend Your time
