Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

People are voting emotionally.

An absolute waste of money

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

More low rent straight-to-video action tosh. This one sees a tired looking Tom Berenger signed up for a mission that sees him off to Vietnam, where he's paired up with a local cop (Byron Mann, fresh off some Steven Seagal flicks) to track down various, nefarious bad guys.It's all very predictable and staid, despite the presence of a handful of mildly frenetic action scenes and lots of sniper action. It feels like a very different beast to its predecessor but the story feels less focused and less well realised. The whole thing about Berenger being sent on a mission by some corrupt officials is incredibly dull.The acting is as half-baked as the plotting, and at the end of the day this is a film that's extremely difficult to get excited about, purely because it's all so familiar and boring.

Beckett's back! Yay? This time around, Beckett (Berenger, of course) is summoned to back to Vietnam to kill some terrorists. He teams up with a local cop to clean up Ho Chi Minh City, but as his mission is getting underway, he realizes a former 'Nam buddy had stayed behind and now is his nemesis. Beckett will now have to grapple with demons from his past, his current alcoholism, and a sort of culture shock to dust off his old sniping skills. Can he do it? Okay, okay, we get it. Thomas Beckett. He's a sniper. He's the best. Why on God's green earth there needs to be THREE movies to tell us this cannot possibly be explained. There's no possible way anyone demanded another Sniper movie after the lackluster Sniper 2 (2002). Now there's even a fourth one, but Berenger had the good sense to steer clear. But Billy Zane returns, so it's not a total loss. However, the movie at hand today is not Sniper: Reloaded (2010), it's part three of the Berenger trilogy. But the problem is, there are only so many ways you can snipe. There are only so many times you can say "One shot, one kill" before it starts to lose all meaning.We see what they were trying to do here. They were trying to bring it back to a more dark, serious and human level after a mediocre part 2, exactly what happened with the Universal Soldier series. Part two of that was lame, but Regeneration redeemed itself by dispensing with the stupidity and going for the jugular. While Sniper 3 appears to be following that formula, the results are not the same. While we appreciated Beckett calling the city "Saigon" and reminiscing about his past, and his struggles with alcohol, somehow it's just getting harder and harder to care. Not that there aren't some cool moments, such as the scene at the nightclub. But if there must be a Sniper 3, they should have gone in a grittier direction and stuck with it, not just give Beckett yet another temporary partner and call it a day. But because it's a DTV film of the 2000's, there's plenty of techno on the soundtrack. Due to the presence of Vietnam vet Thomas Beckett, a new genre is formed: "Beckno".The four Sniper movies made to date have four different directors. Coincidence? Perhaps no director has come back because after they finish directing it, they feel they've taken a movie about sniping as far as they can and feel no need to return. Apparently that rule doesn't apply to the viewing public. The people behind the Sniper series seem to think there's an endless appetite for this out there. While Sniper 3 is not a bad movie by any means, it's unnecessary on top of unnecessary. Even the presence of the great Tom Berenger can't save it from feeling like a retread. It's hard to get very enthusiastic about a third Sniper movie. To date, the best one remains the first one.For more action insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

It was torture watching the movie. This was not in Vietnam, it was in Thailand. The "Vietnamese" actors were Thai. When the "Vietnamese" police told Beckett to put down the gun, they were speaking Thai, not Vietnamese. If you want to make a movie, make it genuine. I'm white myself but it's giving off the exact stereotype white people have on Asian people.This is what Cynthia Alvarenga from Burbank, California wrote:"I liked the casting choices. Of course Tom Berenger is the perfect actor but John Doman, Denis Arndt, William Duffy and especially Byron Mann were convincing in their characters. The Vietnamese cast and crew were phenomenal. I liked the very well-written story, no loose ends. All the information that was told in the story was used with it's conclusions. I like the location choices in Vietnam. I loved the music (WOW). There was a Southeast Asian theme but not over the top stereotypical. The music was hip and matched the screens of the movie. I like the cinematography. The lighting at the dock with Quan and the informant, spooky. Great job, really !!"Listen, Cynthia: take off your blind fold. This just shows how uneducated you are and your stereotype doesn't contribute anything to this world. You need to get a sense of what's a good movie and what's a bad movie because you are completely lost. I feel sorry for people like this lady.

Tom is really a talented Actor, but i think he is too old for the character like Tom Beckett. I have watched Sniper 1, was really cool, but after watching the 2 and 3 I personally think he should concentrate more on other Roles and give the younger one a chance. The character like Tom Beckett suites him, and to be frankly one could think thats not acting, its Tom himself. HAHAHA. Well playing a bad guy doesn't suite him at all "Bad Guy in Platoon?" I have watched his other Movies, well this Guy seem to have many faces, and once he suited in many character, but those were 80's and 90'sTom buddy you are getting Old, but we still adore you.
