Sniper 2

Tonight I seemed to have forgotten why I never watch late night movies, but after seeing this film I have realized why again. First off, the plot of the film is Truly preposterous. The US Marine Corps hunts down this old dude (played by Tom Berenger), who supposedly is the best sniper in the country. Apparently he was a disgraced vet (from the first "Sniper" film which I have joyfully avoided seeing)and the US military is aching for snipers...which is ridiculous in the extreme. Anyway our elderly hero apparently gets lost on his way to take out the dictator strongman in Serbia (which it was emphasized is a "suicide" mission) and ends up in Hungary. I say this as every one of the European actors in the film speak Hungarian and have Hungarian names. I say he got lost because I cannot bring myself to believe that the producers, writers and director of the train wreck have such little faith in the ability of Americans to know the difference between two TOTALLY different countries, cultures, and languages. Give me a break. Aside from that our sniper "expert" can't even tell a difference between a Russian made Mosin Nagant rifle (which he uses in the ENTIRE film) and a German Mauser. This is something that even a novice gun enthusiast would know but it is apparently a fact that has eluded our brave "expert". Anyways, there are also loads of explosions and quite a bit of gun play, but nothing that hasn't been done in a million formulaic movies to come before this one. With that said, if you really must see a sniper movie, go rent "Enemy at the Gates". At least those snipers know what weapons they are firing.

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

from an entertainment perspective this movie was a s good as the first,in my opinion,maybe even better.there's more action,and more tension and suspense.i also liked the secondary characters a bit more.i thought they were more interesting.the story is a bit of a stretch,and not thing original,but that didn't bother me too much in this case.Tom Berenger returns to reprises his role from the original.this time,he's teamed up with Bokeem Woodbine,who's got good screen presence.Linden Ashby and Dan Butler have small supporting roles and both do good with what they are given.like this first movie,this could never be accused of being high art.but it is very entertaining.for me,Sniper 2 is a solid 8/10

Ex-Marine sniper Thomas Beckett is lured out of retirement for an assignment in the Balkans and he's teamed up with a death row inmate. As far as TV sequels go, this is pretty decent. Although the character of Beckett isn't expanded on the film does have a solid story with a good twist which kept me intrigued for the most part. Action sequences are fairly good compared to many other TV movies and director's choirs are mostly well handled by a director who made big budget films in his prime. Tom Berenger owns the part of Beckett and does well as always and the rest of the cast do good as well. Sniper 2 surprised me somewhat as it proved to be quite entertaining and not far behind the original.

I cannot believe this movie is scoring so high. Just above everything in this film is wrong. The setting is wrong. The language spoken is wrong. The second sniper being black and not attracting any attention on the streets or from the Serbian soldiers is ludicrous (this is supposedly Serbia, people, not Los Angeles). Tom Berenger, a "sniper", cannot tell a Mosin Nagant from a Mauser. Every fender bender results in spectacular explosions of multiple vehicles. To add insult to injury, Tom Berenger is so overweight, in the scene where he is "running away" from the soldiers, he looks like he is about the have a stroke after 50 steps or so. This flick is an insult to one's intelligence. It makes Steven Seagal's movies look downright intellectual.

***spoiler*** ok, cars shouldn't explode like that! But 1: who cares if it's not the right rifle, unless you are a nerd, it doesn't matter. 2. if you are so much of a sniper as he is, the signlanguage is so second nature that you'd use that over speech, so signlanguage and speech can occur simultaneously. 3. 200 meters...well yes, if you are standing in the direction of the bullets...which they weren't! ***spoiler end*** The first Sniper was really good and any sniper movie should not be fast paced, then you'd get no suspense, it's not supposed to be xXx you know. This movie is a little too fast paced, but it's ok. The actors are fairly decent, for a sequel they are doing a good job.

Great movie, apparently, Hungarian actors are cheaper than Serbian actors. It was interesting to see how many Hungarians there are living in Serbia and working for the Serbian cause and Serbian army.This movie was horrendous and probably cost less to make than some home movie porno. I can't believe they tried to pass off Hungarians as Serbians. People who actually think this movie was good are probably such hicks they don't know the difference, "eh, look its all eastern Europe to me." I have an idea, they should make a movie called "Bucharest, a documentary" and film the whole movie in Budapest. Also, Sniper 3 can take place in China with a bunch of Japanese actors, or better yet, whey not just do it India and have native American actors.

I just watched this movie. Firstly, movie is not near as good as Sniper 1. And secondly some words about this so called Serbian fighters. I'm from Slovenia and I speak Serbian language. But in this movie I didn't understand not even one word. At the end of the movie I saw this list of actors. Those names are not Serbian but Hungarian. I don't know who (I know only that he's mind doesn't work as it should) said to director of this movie that Hungary and Serbia is one and the same country. Language, habits, mentality,…nothing is the same in these two countries. It's very sad that someone is making a movie about country and he doesn't even knows basics about this country. Movie quality: 3/10 Geography knowledge: 0/10

This is a pretty good sequel for all of you who saw Sniper, Sniper 2 is a little more fast paced but its good, not a jungle movie like the first movie which makes it more interesting, all I can say is If you like sniper like movies like Sniper and enemy at the gates ( Enemy at the gates IS a better movie ) then you will probably like Sniper 2 as well, but its not as much "sniping" as in the other films but anyway, rent it =). oh and the acting, well its fairly good, Tom Berrenger is as good as in the first film.

Okay, let's see if I got this straight...the assassination target is a Serbian general attacking Muslim villages, but the cars all have Hungarian plates, and the locals all speak Hungarian, not any Slavic language. Okay, we'll suspend our disbelief that there are any Muslim villages in Hungary. But if Serbia were attacking Hungary, a NATO member, the response of the West would be something more than sending over a couple of guys who look like anything but Eastern Europeans. NATO is a mutual defense pact that comes to the defense of any member (well, NATO gets involved with other adventures, too, but that's a different debate). So we find out that there are opposition leaders being held without charges in prison. Wonder whether the European Union knew about this when it invited Hungary to be a candidate for EU membership? In any case, before Hungary joins the EU, it'll definitely have to do something about its product safety standards, particularly the tendency of every vehicle to explode into an enormous fireball when crashed, shot, bumped, or if its doors are slammed too hard. How big a fireball would an exploding Trabant be able to produce anyway, with its feeble East German two-stroke engine that's comparable to a lawnmower? Did anyone notice that our heroes were dropped off by a helicopter marked "SFOR", but picked up by an unmarked helicopter? One might assume there was an enormous diplomatic outcry when the Bosnia-based UN Stabilization Force (SFOR) exceeded its mandate by carrying out a mission that took it over Croatian or Serbian territory and into Hungary, so when they made the trip again, SFOR removed all the identifying details. Either that or the film's continuity person fell asleep on the job. And what was up with the heroes' desperate dash for "the border"? If they were in Hungary, they were safe. If they were dashing for the Croatian or Romanian borders, they'd be safe there too. But since they were in a place where villages were being attacked by Serbia, they were presumably close to the Serbian border. Why on earth would they want to reach the Serbian border? Shouldn't they be sitting tight, safe in Hungary, waiting for the NATO airstrikes to end the little Serbian incursion into Hungary? And who were the bad guys, anyway? Invading Serbian troops who can somehow move freely around the streets of Hungarian cities, commandeering police cars without resistance, conducting shootouts on the street without any protest from Hungarians? If anyone out there considering making "Sniper 3," please pick up a world atlas and read a few newspapers before you write the script!
