Sniper

Dunno why this navy seals sniper finds a praise. All these snipers pull the trigger, not squeezing it. They all would miss the target. And bad English subtitles. Action was ok. CGI terrible. Plot stupid. Dunno why this navy seals sniper finds a praise. All these snipers pull the trigger, not squeezing it. They all would miss the target. And bad English subtitles. Action was ok.

One of the worst movie ever seen. Bad animations, bad acting,bad script,bad everyway its waste of time and money.......poor producer invest the money on that..

The story is okay-ish and parts of the plot are very predictable, there are twists and turns that are not hard to figure out beforehand but they serve the story well. My biggest issue with this movie is the fact that the music goes unbearably loud in some scenes follow by inaudible dialogue and we're left with an uneasy viewing experience. The acting is serviceable in some parts while the others are quite atrocious. The action scenes are not well staged to be honest, the acting when a person gets shot is very bad, it's as if little kids are playing with toys guns and pretending they shooting each other. This movie also suffers from same old mix of typical editing style of an action movie. The few special effects that are on display are not bad considering the budget. But if one thing stands out in this film is the cinematography; the camera work is quite slick, and the color grading suits the film's settings.

I'm not sure if the writer and director are related, but this was each of the Huang's first filmmaking attempt as writers and director, and is clearly shows. The story was cliched and predictable, with a annoying sappy melodramatic score. The dialogue was cheesy, and my version of the English subtitles were worse than a fortune cookie's Chinese-to-English translation. There were plot holes galore, and most of the camera work was amateurish, but the sets, location and cinematography were decent. Even all the head-shot S/VFX were convincing, as were most of the action scenes. The slow-mo sniper shots and scope views were excellent and realistic. There were some technical issues, such as the few seconds require to re-chamber a round would've opened up return-fire tactical opportunities, but nevertheless, for an international film by amateur filmmakers, it was shot well. The 85 min runtime flew by with decent pacing. The acting was good for the most part. Thus it's a 6/10 from me.
