"Sniper: Assassin’s end"
Watched English movie "Sniper: Assassin’s end".
This film is directed by Kaare Andrews. Written by Oliver Thompson. Produced by Greg Malcolm, Vicki Sotheran. Music by Patrick Caird. Cinematography Strolling Bancroft. The film features Sayaka Akimoto, Chad Michael Collins, Tom Berenger, Lochlyn Munro, Emily Tennant, Ryan Robbins. The film runs for about 1 hour 36 minutes and was released in 2020. I watched it on Netflix on 15th July 2023. This is 8th installment of Sniper series.
Leader of a fictitious South American country, Costa Verde, is assasinated by a long shot. Very few in world can take such a shot. Special Ops sniper Brandon Beckett’s DNA is found and he is arrested. But he is innocent and his convoy is attacked. Brandon survives and goes to his father, a retired sniper himself.
The seed is good. Story is shallow. Father Son meet after years and father happens to tell the story of one of his worst shots. The sniper (both father and son) don’t look the part. The perpetrator is very ill concealed. Reason for revenge is very obvious but nobody spots it. The execution is also hopeless. American federal agent asks Canadian agent to get out in Canada and he obeys. What jurisdiction does the American have? Why does the assassin give up after putting up a spectacular fight?
Acting is not much to write about. Only noteworthy performance is of Sayaka. Others are ‘also ran’. A lot of movie happens in dark.
Positives: Hardly anything.
Negatives: Everything.
Avoid.
