Amazon.com:
Tom Berenger and Billy Zane head the cast in this silly action film about a tough Marine and an Olympics marksman who team up in the Panamanian jungle to take out a rebel leader and the drug kingpin financing him. Berenger's done this switched-off soul bit before, but Zane doesn't seem quite ready for his part. In any case, the acting doesn't matter as much to director Luis Llosa as fancy camerawork to give viewers the sense of a bullet hurling along its trajectory. --Tom Keogh

It was the DVD that I was looking for but I wanted it in widescreen. While the version that I received stated "widescreen" on the package, the DVD was actually fullscreen.
I was disappointed and returned the item. I would still like to obtain this item in widescreen as it will complete my collection of the subsequent two films on this character.

I enjoyed watching Tom Berenger in Sniper. I went through the Jungle Warfare School (JWS) in Panama in 1969 and the movie depicted the jungle fairly well. The Indios did follow us around all the time. The only possible error I noticed was the recticle for the scope. I never saw a red dot scope, only a mil spec, cross hair scope on a sniper rifle. The cross hairs were typically gradated in mils for purposes of adjusting for range and any cross winds that were present. All ... Read More
Rating:  - Poor
Sometimes one (this one anyway) feels like some lightweight viewing. This is so lightweight that your television may have to be weighted down to stop it floating away. Now light-weightedness can go with good quality. Alas, in this case, it doesn't. The 1-D Mr. Berenger appears to possess two expressions, grim and grimmer, not to mention all the charisma of the average cornflake packet. The plot is feeble and unconvincing.
The film does have one major selling point - it is vastly better ... Read More

If you like military movies, this is worth watching. Makes you want to become a scout sniper! One Shot, One Kill!
