This movie was full of clichés, horrible acting and cheesy dialogue. How can you make the DC Sniper story boring? Before I watched this, I wouldn't think it would be possible. The camera work was very low quality and shaky. The confessionals between the characters and a camera were almost humorous and the voice over work of the federal agent was unneeded. Why was it important to know about his run away daughter and her venture into online pornography? I'm telling you... I don't know how anyone can say they enjoyed this movie. It was unfocused, poorly written and simply corny. I would expect this at film school.
This was hands don't one of the worst movies I ever attempted to watch. I could tell from the first 20 seconds that it was going to be bad. After the first 5 minutes, this was confirmed. The best thing about this film is that it gives encouragement to aspiring filmmakers, directors, and actors. It shows that even if you're horrible a horrible actor, working for a poor director, and an awful production crew, on a gut-wrenchingly horrible film, that one day that film may be shown to millions of unsuspecting victims around the globe.
Don't waste your time. In my top 10 of Worst Movies Ever. Piece of trash.

The most surprising thing about this amateur effort re-telling the true story of the Washington, D.C. shootings that were perpetrated by a guy shooting out of the tail light of his adapted car is that it was directed by Polish director Ulli Lommel, the guy who brought us THE TENDERNESS OF THE WOLVES and THE BOGEY MAN all those years ago. I had no idea that he was still working (or even still alive) and reduced to making straight-to-DVD junk these days.
The ONLY - and I mean ONLY - good thing about this film is Ken Foree, one-time star of DAWN OF THE DEAD. Foree plays the main villain of the piece and around half the running time is made up of him ranting to the camera about various facets and flaws of modern society. Sadly, the script is atrocious so a lot of what he's coming out with is absolute nonsense, but Foree is still good value and the only reason I bothered watching this rubbish to the end.
Sadly, everything around him is terrible: the supporting cast of non-actors are wooden beyond belief (including the director himself in an unwise acting role) and the direction is amateur. The various kill scenes, although gory, are robbed of any suspense or shock value thanks to the poor way in which they're conceived and shot. D.C. SNIPER isn't the worst film I've ever seen, but it's certainly very close to the bottom of the scale.

This film is god awful I like violent movies but god the way this was shot the scripting everything was just god awful I couldn't watch this film all the way through the endless rambling of the dad the victims getting shot was horrible not cause they died but the special fx blood etc all was just terrible the acting worst I've ever seen except for ken foree who was moderate but oh god this movie is just terrible I for one am not a person who hates bad acting like b movie acting but this this was like something filmed for a school project it's so bad words can't describe it I know there's other D. C Sniper movies out there that are probably way better then this one.
P. S don't waste your time with this one no wonder it's on free streaming services.

I could sit here and give you 100 reasons on why this movie was terrible, but it seams thats already been done instead ill write down 10 things id rather do. 1. Id rather eat a brick sandwich then to even think about the fact that i had to drive down to return this movie. 2. Id rather slow roast in a oven then have to watch this Samuel Jackson wannabe act again. 3. Id rather listen to a nickelback album 3 times in a row than watch this pathetic low budget cam cording disaster. 4. Id rather eat myself from the toe up then watch the first scene. 5. I would rather grind my teeth along a chalk board for 9 minutes then have to listen to that cockroach speak again. 6. Id rather jump in a pool of lava headfirst then to even look at the front cover again. 7. Id rather put a grenade in my mouth and pull the pin then think about this movie again. 8. And last but not least id rather slowly chop my own head off with a spoon and then feed myself to a pack of wolves then even think for one more minute that this movie somehow made it overseas. Thankyou and i hope this review helped
