Jose C The story is weak. Its got way too many corny action tropes. The gun play and choreography is very bad. They're supposed to be elite operators but make a crapton of mistakes. If you can heavily suspend your disbelief it me be an ok movie. Otherwise don't bother. Also, night vision is a superpower how it's portrayed in one scene.

The action feels recycled and the movie overall lacks tension or originality, making it a disappointing addition to the franchise.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Matthew D This would not even qualify as an old VHS release or Redbox throwaway movie. Canadian director Danishka Esterhazy’s action thriller Sniper: The Last Stand (2025) is the usual Netflix slop. Esterhazy’s direction is lifeless like so many of these throwaway Netflix movies. They would all have been dumped in a bargain bin at Walmart twenty years ago. Now it’s just a click, watch, and forget type of movie. The dull conversations that do not have any personality or charisma are mind numbing. Most of the characters don’t even react when someone else talks. Writer Sean Wathen’s generic action story of getting a superweapon away from a dangerous arms dealer is so tired and forgettable. The conversations between the soldiers should have some emotional weight, but everyone speaks in old stories and bland moral statements. It’s like they don’t have a personality. I just hate when a script feels like it could have been written by A.I. because it is so lackluster. American actor Chad Michael Collins is the usual generic action hero. His main sniper Brandon Beckett feels totally soulless. It’s like he delivers every line with the dramatic weight like he’s ordering a pizza. He’s like a poor man’s Josh Hartnett with no charisma. South African actor Arnold Vosloo is so bland and embarrassing as the villain arms dealer Ryker Kovalov. He just yells and looks agitated. Canadian actor Ryan Robbins is alright as the other hero Zero with a bit of personality. He’s like a Canadian knock-off of Jon Bernthal, if he looked like a gritty version of Peter Sarsgaard. South African actor Sizo Mahlangu is decent as the young sniper recruit with talent Zondi. Canadian actress Sharon Taylor is pretty as Hera and a decent soldier character amongst all the tough guys. Canadian actor Manuel Rodriguez-Saenz is somewhat fun as Nova, who strangely only listens to EDM remixes of classical songs for some baffling reason. South African actress Shamilla Miller is steadfast as the sturdy soldier Nadia with a more commanding style. South African actor Vusi Kunene is fairly rigid, but a commanding presence as the boss Modise. Editor David Trevail’s constant cutting is so distracting. The random cuts in the action scenes are so hard to follow. Cinematographer Trevor Calverley’s shaky camerawork is very obnoxious like his constantly panning shots, so that you can hardly ever focus on person talking. Brent Sauls’ flat lighting is like you’re watching a commercial shot in broad daylight. Every set looks like a cheap warehouse. The very few practical effects are fine, but the CGI blood and slow motion zoom-ins for the sniper shots are laughably bad. Composer Andries Smit delivers a truly slapped together war theme with some trumpets. What a waste of 99 minutes! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review SkyRo P "Sniper: The Last Stand" is just one of many sniper-themed films available, predominantly on Netflix. While it stands out a bit from the rest, it still follows a familiar formula and lacks substantial character development, making it less engaging for repeated viewings. From the outset, the plot dives straight into action, leaving little room for the audience to connect with the characters. Early on, many characters are eliminated, and we’re left with only a handful, including a leader who takes charge despite not being the official leader. While it's commendable to see someone step up, the film ultimately fails to flesh out the team dynamics necessary for a compelling story. In summary, while "Sniper: The Last Stand" is an entertaining watch for the first time, it doesn't offer enough depth to warrant a second viewing. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review LacosteTK N It Feels Like an Episode Of Reacher, Pretty Good Fight Choreography, But Light On Story.
