Sniper: El fin del asesino

The "Sniper" franchise is a known commodity now, and although "Sniper: Assassin's End" is a step down from "Sniper: Ultimate Kill" and the others that have come before it, right back to the Billy Zane original, Chad Michael Collins' fifth outing as Brandon Beckett has some good action sequences both with and without rifles and is a chance for Brandon to team up with his somewhat-estranged old man, Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger) and do what they do best.

At times, the Beckett's were secondary to the characters of Special Agent Zeke "Zero" Rosenberg and the mysterious assassin Doctor Death - as though the powers-that-be were using "Assassin's End" as a backdoor spin-off. They were both good characters, but give me more of the Beckett's, please!

Enjoyable, nonetheless.

For a while I thought I'd been transported back to the 80's.

With a decent story poorly executed, weak direction, cheesy script and atrocious soundtrack this was the sort of thing you hired from blockbuster for 99p for a week.

Mildly entertaining, straight to VHS fodder.

This is a truly spectacularly bad movie. The storyline was incoherent, the dialog was poor, the characters were all one dimensional cliches, the acting was dreadful, the pacing was too slow to build any suspense, and the "action" scenes were a big nothing. Don't waste your time.

Directing by Kaare Andrews was adequate - for a B-grade film, but camera shots during the action scenes weren't good. Directing his cast was also an issue - his inexperience apparent. The writing by newb Oliver Thompson was terrible, even for an amateur. Lame cliched dialogue, dumbed down extended scenes, with plot and technical issues. Had this been edited properly - trimmed/cut out around 10-15 min off the poorly paced 90 min runtime, most of the writing issues wouldn't be as apparent. So not entirely Thompson's fault for the final product. The score was actually fitting and not as overbearing and loud you'd expect in a B-grade film. Although we've seen many films like this, for a B-grade film put together by inexperienced filmmakers, this one held my attention and was enjoyable for the most part - especially the first third of the film. It's a very generous 6/10 from me.

What can I say.... watched it to the end, did not hit fast forward at anytime, but it was no masterpiece. A B-grade movie

I found the dialogue and scene flow poor. Difficult to relate to the characters. Mostly just action. Found the story line very predictable... no surprises.

The tactical errors done by police were far too many for me to mention in goofs on this page. For example, swat teams entering a kill zone at almost shoulder to shoulder distancing. Only remotely resembled how real police conduct themselves in a combat zone. This is the worst of Sniper series.
