Tough guy Thomas Beckett is an US soldier working in the Panamanian jungle. His job is to seek out rebels and remove them using his sniper skills. Beckett is notorious for losing his partners on such missions. This time he's accompanied by crack marksman Richard Miller, who's more of an office-type. Together they plan to seek out an important rebel leader, whilst avoiding a rogue marksman who frequents this part of the jungle. (TriStar Pictures)

Dans la finale, Llosov a réussi à émouvoir, tendre et susciter la catharsis chez le spectateur lors de l'élimination des méchants. À l'époque de sa sortie, je pourrais avoir une meilleure opinion de cette star. Mais aujourd'hui, Sniper semble très terne, par moments ennuyeux, et surtout dominé par ses faiblesses de série B, auxquelles la musique artificielle de Chang ajoute encore plus de criardise. Les films Rambo avaient Sylvester, de l'élan et les motifs de Jerry Goldsmith. C'est seulement une pâle imitation.

In 1993, was it possible to see slow motion shots of a bullet? Well, that is definitely something you don't see every day. And yet, it actually works for those crazy people. The story about the sniper in the jungle is quite ordinary, but the overall concept and the effort to come up with something new caught my attention. Therefore, I give it a higher rating. Maybe someone will notice and agree with me.
