      Elvis D Otra fascinante película orientada en la guerra de Vietnam que aunque no esta a la altura de Full Metal Jacket o Apocalypse Now, tiene lo suyo. Un poco aburrida y lenta de ritmo, pero cuenta con dos protagonistas cuya tensión entre ellos da algo de vida a la película. Las secuencias de los disparos son alucinantes como sacadas de un dibujo animado o un cómic. Tom Berenger y Billy Zane son estupendos. Por mas que esta película no sea asombrosa, sirve como un buen primer capitulo de la saga en que esta película acabo convirtiéndose extendiendo y desarrollando mejor la historia Thomas Beckett. Esta película es recomendable para empezar a adentrase en la saga de Sniper e ir conociendo a Thomas Beckett que es un personaje interesante y que merece reconocimiento en el cine de acción. Mi nota para esta película es un 8/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/23 Full Review Rosana B "Por acaso tem um jeito certo de rolar a montanha?" Melhor parte… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/17/22 Full Review Audience Member Great flick. Classic action movie of the time. Still a fun watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/21 Full Review Audience Member Silly 90s action flick. It's surprisingly low-key for a movie of this nature. I mean, seriously, it's basically just Tom Berenger and Billy Zane wandering around the jungle for an hour and a half, bickering. While that can sound like fun in itself, it doesn't make for the most thrilling action movie... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/21 Full Review Audience Member Tom Berenger's very strong screen presence, together with some compelling visuals, should have made this jungle adventure a classic. However, it suffers from some irritating dialogue and poor character development. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member what a classic a little down graded for it's time but a instant classic great performances from tom berenger and billy zane love the story of Thomas becket i like that tom berenger mentioned Bozeman Montana that neck of the woods is a place im familiar with i grew up around that area great film a must see.

      James Berardinelli ReelViews Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Sniper expresses a cool competence that is a pleasure to watch. It isn't a particularly original film, but what it does, it does well. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Slow & under-plotted for what this should have been. Billy Zane is a little too afraid of diving back into "Dead Calm"-ish headcase territory. But there's some beautiful location photography & it's clear Tom Berenger has studied actual snipers' behaviors. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 10, 2024 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant It's difficult to see waves of gung-ho action nuts racing to see this saga of an old hand and a young hotshot tramping though miles of tropical greenery. Jun 6, 2018 Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily A solid action movie with an interesting performance by Tom Berenger as a gruff and tough loner. Rated: 3/5 Sep 28, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
