Portuguese Sniper

The locations where awesome, the action was great. The screenplay works to some degree but fails to make certain connections clear and answer some questions. Who is this mercenary sniper ? Who is the main enemy that send this mercenary to kill the rebel leader ? Maybe in a sequel we´ll get the answers. As for music in general it´s decent, the main actors, music, action and camera-work are fun but it's all brainless.

The plot was simple and the acting OK, but overall I really enjoyed this movie. The lead actor was cast perfectly. He is strong in every role I have seen him in. All in all it was a good movie. Worth watching.

A seemingly low-budget film makes up for every flaw with action, this brings back the old cat and mouse game, that sniper movies have. Great soundtrack that really takes us there to the forest to see two elite snipers face each other, with traps, until the moment we all wait for, the time to pull the trigger. It builds up nicely, to a great finale, the target gets away, but the confrontation between them is for the ages.

The plot may be familiar, the premise of having two snipers as the protagonists is interesting. There are some exciting moments, cool camera tricks and even some genuine tension. The problems i found in the movie is the lack of action, only in the end we really see it, and the rebel leader was not well used, nor did he look like a real leader, he looks like a guy walking through the forest shooting, the soldiers who accompanied him had the immersive style of that environment. In addition, it is a good short because the budget was very low, and they managed to bring us a little of what would be a great Portuguese adventure in the world of snipers.

7/10

This movie definitely has a B-movie "look" to it. Great action from the first to the last frame, it´s well-paced, fraught with suspense, like any other hollywood sniper movie. As a lower budget action movie this served it's purpose well.
