Lack of good storyline.

Am I Missing Something?

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

"Sniper: Legacy" is as far as I know the fifth movie in the "Sniper" franchise. I have only seen parts one and two, and now this latest movie.I will say that it is not a boring movie, but nor is it an outstanding or particularly memorable movie. Sure, it had some nice moments, such as the urban ambush on the drug cartel. That scene was rather action-packed and full of adrenaline.The story is about a rogue sniper systematically killing off officers from a former operation, when Brandon Beckett (played by Chad Michael Collins) suddenly have to disobey orders and meddle with the operation as he learned about his father Thomas Beckett (played by Tom Berenger) has been killed.Storywise, then "Sniper: Legacy" was adequate. It didn't really offer anything new to the genre, and it was a shame. The story had more potential than what was utilized.As for the acting, well it was also adequate. The "Sniper" movies is not really movie that rely too much on thespian acting after all.All in all, then "Sniper: Legacy" is good enough for a single viewing if you enjoy these movies.

I got the honor to watch Sniper: Legacy on the 4327th movie-sitting festival on my grand old couch, alone, before bedtime. (I never understood why it is important to give information on that but anyway...)This has a less serious tone than the previous Sniper movies. I didn't really get it at first but, boy, did I get it during the last 5 minutes. I then understood why many characters were extra stereotypical, where the (sort of) college movie vibes between the younger characters came from, and the more Rambo-ish shoot-outs and 80-ies man-to-man combat scenes came from. If you see it, don't get fooled by the thriller elements in the opening. That is not what it is if you ask me.Actually, I gave it a good five-out-of-ten while watching it. I let the quite frequent factual errors pass because I thought early on that the writers/director/producers probably weren't going for authentic fire-fights. BUT! Then comes the last five minutes and, BOOM, I have to rate it a seven. There's a big risk that many will hate those five minutes. It's like the end is made in that way to let you choose: It explains the rest of the creation, or, it spoils however you felt about the movie up until then.Good casting, decent script, directing seems in place, acting is efficient.That's my take on it. Good night!

.... and they didn't.Let's start with the positives. The cinematography is to die for. The direction is rock-solid (something many tired sequels can't claim) and the idea of re-imagining the "spotter" as a member of the fairer sex is, well, clever. And visually engaging.But the clever stops there.For the record -- and this is an old and cranky reviewer writing this -- I saw the first SNIPER in a theatre. One of the old ones. With a second floor and balconies. It was not bad. At the time Berenger was considered to be "the next big thing" and could do no wrong.In my view, if you had suggested to Berenger at that time (hypothetically) that the rest of his career would be mainly TV roles, and that the occasional Sniper "redux" would be his only ongoing star turn, I think he would have been shocked.Just like this reviewer is shocked that, in spite of the cinematography and direction, this film essentially falls apart after the first 20 minutes.Which is sad because Berenger, in his late sixties, might never get another chance to do this right.

This move is worth a look see just because there are not any excellent movies made anymore. This movie is in the middle and that is why I gave it a 5 out of 10. There was not much of the movie to follow because if you have seen one you have seen them all. I like Tom Berenger ever since I saw him in "The Big Chill", so I was glad to see him doing some work since he has matured. Also I was glad to see a movie that was not distracting with a lot of nonsense showing nudity and sex. I enjoyed seeing a good movie about Snipers. I would put it up there with "American Sniper", even though this one is just fantasy. So get out the popcorn and set down for a decent watch and enjoy.
