Sniper: Rogue Mission

I struggled to watch the whole movie...

Bad bad bad !!

The music score seemed to both overwhelm the senses in watching the movie , as well as being poorly selected. Some scores sounded like the background music of a Tom and Jerry cartoon, while in the extreme, sounded like background music of a 1970's porno. The music did not match the scenes and I found it distracting.

I found the acting poor, camera work poor and the story both was poorly written and did not flow in the production. The actors/characters were not convincing in their roles at all.

My advice, ........ give this a movie a miss... and then to religion and pray to your god and beg that this is the last Sniper movie to be made.... This is, thus far, the worst one so far.

This film is newb filmmaker Oliver Thompson's second full length feature film as director, and third credit as writer. At first I was really getting annoyed with the typical B-film loud, overbearing and constant score which seemed to be 2x louder than the dialogue, that made me have to up and down the volume accordingly, but thankfully that issue got better as the film progressed.

Thompson's directing was spot on, and you'd never guess he was a newb filmmaker. Even his writing had great continuity, steady pacing, and some nice twists to a well executed story for this genre. The comedic scenes would sneak up on you and were actually funny - a job well done by the actors, and that made the story much more refreshing that I actually wanted more humor. There were some plot and technical issues, but rookie mistakes are expected from a new filmmaker, and Thompson's were few rather than prevalent. The cinematography was great, and once the score settled down and some decent soundtracks started playing, I started enjoying the film even more. The 96 min runtime was just right for the story, and I have no complaints with the editing. All casting and performances were on point and convincing, and the wide range of character personalities was a creative and enjoyable touch, especially the two brothers who were hilarious.

It's not a perfect film, but for a low budget B film from a newb filmmaker, Thompson should be proud of his results. I do hope by leaving that door open for sequels, he gets on that soon, before Mr. Allstate retires, because he'd be perfect as the rogue crew's boss. It's a 7/10 from me, could've been an eight had I not endured the annoying score from the start.

Why did you run away from your roots??I love B movies..but that was a disaster. They corrupted its whole character. Thats not a Sniper movie. Have they seen the previous ones? So dissappointed. I wonder why the actor came back for the role.

I often wonder why this movie was green lighted. The writer and director, Oliver Thompson should really find a different career. Low buget, stiff or non-existent acting. As stated by other reviewers, the music is too loud and out of place.

The story is laughable, predictable and mostly recycled from other bad movies..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

After watching all 9 installments of Sniper franchise (including this one) since the original Sniper released in 1993, I hate to say this is the most ridiculous and worst one. Thumbs down.

I wonder how could they end up reaching to this level of low quality with cheap production values, poor script, poor direction, poor casting, poor acting & overall poor editing. Everything is so terrible in this 9th installment.

It doesn't deserve even one single star rating actually, due to everything is very bad. In previous installments, presence of Tom Berenger somehow managed to create suspense and excitement, but this one is the most horrible in every aspect.

I wish, if sanity remains, producers stop further production of future sequels, for the betterment of the whole Sniper franchise.
