The CIA recruits Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger), a former Marine sniper who lost his trigger finger but can still fire a weapon with an unorthodox technique, to assassinate a Serbian military leader. His help includes Cole (Bokeem Woodbine), an ex-con and Army sniper, and Serbian freedom fighter Sophia (Erika Marozsán). While the killing goes as planned, the general's soldiers manage to track down the fleeing team. Cole is captured, but Beckett formulates a plan to free him.

En este segundo capítulo de la saga, ahora vemos a Thomas Beckett emprendiendo una misión en la sociedad más actual después del fin de la guerra. Esta vez en una misión por Europa y acompañado de un nuevo ayudante que no esta mal, pero no esta a la altura de Billy Zane. La verdad es una película de acción algo genérica y plana en comparación con la anterior, Las escenas de acción son lo que se puede destacar. Tom aún le da algo de alma al film y aunque es un nuevo capítulo en la historia de Beckett tras el final de la guerra, al final es otra película de acción común para pasar el reato. Mi calificación para esta película es un 8/10.

Os carros da polícia neste filme são inflamáveis, um fascista morto e um preso resgatado, ao custo de vários soldados inocentes mortos, numa guerra a vida dos subalternos soldados sempre são a que menos importam... "Na guerra não há mocinhos..." como bem disse o personagem Dr. Pavel... Gosto dessa trama, atiradores, perseguição, terrorismo, protagonistas e antagonistas imorríveis, adorável... Tragico fim, e com algumas perguntas sem respostas, bora para "O Atirador 3"

im glad to see tom berenger back in action but this film was just poorly written really crappy acting for sure i mean the shooting was good but really not at the same time first off no offense but if your the only black guy going to another country where there is no other colored folks try to blend in more by not wearing bright blue denim clothes at least becket blended in with the atmosphere around him and the contact standing in front of a church wearing a bright red leather jacket how is this common when she's the only person in a leather jacket a bright one at that im a details person and this was very unrealistic the best parts of this film was when beckett got to use a old ww2 mauser rifle and use against his opponents and the conversation between him and cole and the ending eye shot that is in all 3 sniper films not a must watch but is good to watch if want to know all of the story.

Above-average actioner is professionally staged with a suspense and a fairly well-considered script.

I love how Berenger gives a different personality to each character he portrays, and stays true to each separate personality that sequals. Kick ass actor.

How best to describe just how bad this film is? Well, if "Everything Wrong with Sniper 2 in x minutes or less" were to do a piece on this film it would last longer than the film itself. X might run to 180 or more. The only advantage might be that there would be no spoilers because that would presuppose a plot. It takes real effort to make a film this bad and the writers and director deserve credit for that at least. The film is so full of inconsistencies, twists in the narrative, illogical characters that one imagines that this could only have been written by several people: none of whom were given the opportunity to read the others' work before shooting started. Tom Berenger's performance was not phoned in as the popular saying goes, but posted by snail mail. And it seems to have arrived, again, after shooting started. I suspect that the only redeeming quality to this film is that it is interesting for people who like to yell at their screens about how bad or unbelievable what they are seeing really is. The only problem there is that they'd have to watch it several times because by yelling they'd miss some bits that they will certainly want to yell about in the next go round. No one can write fast enough to note all the problems in one sitting even. Oh, and in case you thought to just watch it with a cocktail in hand for the stunts, violence and action. Hold the tomato juice.

Craig R. Baxley drops in a few exceptionally photographed explosions and evokes appropriately antagonistic back-and-forth between Tom Berenger and Bokeem Woodbine. It suffers from some of the same issues as its predecessor but is less pokey & pretentious.

Sorely lacks the character moments of the first Sniper, but not bad by direct-to-DVD standards.

A low-rent shoot-'em-up that may actually be worthy of a 3-dollar rental!

offers very little in terms of plot, even grant action - no better really than your typical direct to video generic actioner
