Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Lidia Draper

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Guillelmina

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Not sure what all the hate is about here. A good film with some beautiful scenery and well-constructed action sequences.Nothing groundbreaking by any means, but Chad Michael Collins as Brandon Beckett is a pretty good lead actor for this reborn franchise. Loved the partnership he has with his female spotter, which was a plot device I didn't expect. Here's hoping it gets explored further as the franchise continues.Seeing a grizzled Tom Berenger as Thomas Beckett back in action, putting the Sniper franchise's two leading men - father and son - on the screen together for the first time.

"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 didn't think that the first "Sniper" movie (way back in 1993!) was anything special, and the box office results seemed to indicate others agreed with me. But it must have found its audience somewhere, because it's spawned several direct to video sequels, this one being the latest one. I wasn't expecting too much when I sat down to watch this entry (no surprise), but I was kind of surprised to find it was decent. Now, it's far from a perfect movie. I do believe comments from other IMDb users here that state various military details in this movie are not accurate, though that did not concern me that much. I will admit that a few sequences involving CGI effects are a little cheesy, and there are a few slow bits here and there. The biggest disappointment in my opinion, however, is with the use of Tom Berenger. Although he is top billed, we have to wait almost an hour before he first shows up, and he only makes a few (brief) appearances afterwards.Despite those problems, the movie still remains entertaining. Although the CGI effects are lacking, the movie looks extremely professional in every other aspect, from the cinematography to the locations; some serious money and time was spent on this movie. The starring features of the movie - the action sequences - are also well done, coming across as very exciting and well directed.While I wouldn't say that this is a movie to actively seek out, it does deliver the goods if you are in the mood for some non-think action. I've seen hundreds of action movies from all over the world in my life, so I'm confident in saying that this is a decent example of the genre.

I usually enjoy Tom Berrenger and Dennis Haysbert, but both actors were clearly mailing it in here. The plot line was confusing and unrealistic and the acting was dreadful. The snipers are alternately the best shots in the world and then moments later can't hit their targets. They chase the bad guy out in the open without knowing where he is, not bothering to move forward under cover and just begging to be picked off. Brandon Beckett reconnects with his largely absent father and there is no joy ... or anger. It's just sort of ho-hum, yeah, good to see you again. Some emotion ... any emotion ... would have been nice. Obviously the producer was looking to capitalize on whatever success the previous Sniper films generated, but no real effort was put into this one. Pat on the back to the producer for killing off whatever good will was left for the Sniper franchise.
