The Sniper

THE SNIPER (2009) - July 24, 2009
A decent film about a disgraced ex-police sniper who aligns himself with a criminal to get revenge on his former unit. The plot was a bit convoluted, and the characters were thinly developed, but it was essentially entertaining and nice and short at under ninety minutes. Dante Lam's direction was a bit over-the-top, but it got the job done; the action, in particular, was quite well done -- the standout easily being the final sniper battle (which was, disappointingly, the only sniper battle in the film, but it made up for it by being super awesome). **1/2
