Portuguese Sniper

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.

Deep in the jungle of Colombia, a mercenary sniper wants to kill a rebel leader but the portuguese sniper shows his skills against an incredible killer.

Portuguese Sniper does a great job of allowing us a glimpse into the world of the snipers. The rifle of the portuguese sniper is awesome in every way, and the rifle of the mercenary sniper is great also. A smart move from Constantino Filmes, that show us that even in Portugal they can make good movies and this one is a must have.

10/10

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.

Solid thriller but low on reality and action, the pace is good through and it is quite enjoyable until the end where believability is pushed just a little bit too far. If character and plot development was better planned who knows how great this movie could have been. So, i´m still gonna give this a 7, just for the effort to make a portuguese sniper, and i love the sets.

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.
