I watched first part of "Sniper" movie and it was decent. But this part 2 is just retarded! I needed like 45 mins into movie to figure out who is the "bad guy", where he's from, where's this movie taking part, why are they talking different language than supposed and how did they manage to place Serbian town Požaervac into Hungary, how the hell muslims lived 600 years in Eastern Europe etc.For all of you who don't know the facts, let me help you:1. This movie is filmed in Hungary, the story of the movie is taking place in Hungary too, but it's supposed to be taking place in Serbia 2. Actors speak Hungarian language, but they are supposedly Serbs 3. They transport imprisoned Cole from Hungarian town to Požarevac (Serbian town), like those 2 towns are in the same country and there are no borders 4. Sophia's brothers have Serbian names, but they speak Hungarian 5. That rifle isn't German Mauser by the way 6. It's not the muslims (Bosnians) who lived there for 600 years, but Serbs and Croats 7. It's not Serbs who were killing and expelling Bosnians but vice versa 8. That "Serbian" general they want to kill doesn't have Serbian name at all and he's obviously a Hungarian according to his name 9. A helicopter which "Serbian" special forces used in film has 'SFOR' inscription on it, which means "Stabilisation Force" and it was NATO's "peacekeeping" force, not Serbian 10.This is just another biased anti-Serbian movie, made to once more represent Serbs as terrorists, heartless murders and worst peopleBottom line: this movie insults the intelligence of average man. I put it into top 3 worst movies I've seen in my life. I don't know is it director's ignorance and stupidity, but knowing how America wants to represent Serbs I bet this is just another biased movie funded by American imperialists and masons, probably by George Soros, who himself is Hungarian. So many misleading and wrong historical facts, language replacement, countries swaping, geographical errors.IF YOU READ THIS - DON'T BOTHER WATCHING THIS CRAP MOVIE!

Truly the worst film of it's genre I have ever has the displeasure of sitting through.But... it's possibly so bad that it's good. I mean it actually had me laughing out loud. It is truly that bad.Many points (such as trying to pass Hungray off as Serbia) have been dutifully covered. And the exploding cars. But the funniest thing is the complete, disjointed randomness of the whole movie.Why does ever car explode like it has a case of C4 in the trunk you may wonder? Well check out the tram-hitting-the-police cars scene and tell me why the cars explode BEFORE the tram hits them! Also after Cole is captured, why is there an random clip of a Luftwaffe Panavia Tornado taking off? Why? Also why on earth is Cole picked for this mission? I am of course referring to the fact that he is black and supposed to be going undercover to the Balkans, where he might just stand out a little....If you haven't watched it, and don't have a pencil handy to poke yourself in the eye, then watch this movie. Then pick out your most ridiculous, random moment from this truly shocking piece of cinema. But just remember that's 90 minutes of your life you can never have back.

Since his medical discharge, ex-Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Beckett has drifted around but has continued to impress in national competitions . So much so in fact, that the military come to him with an offer – anything he wants in return for an "off the books" mission deep inside the Balkans to assassinate a Serbian general believed to be committed atrocities against the Muslim population. Beckett picks military deathrow prisoner Cole as his spotter but is his sense of mistrust well placed in regards this mission?Sniper was solid and Sniper 3 was OK if unremarkable so I went into part 2 in the series being pretty sure that it was going to be more of the same, which more or less it was. The plot is basic though and nowhere near as interesting as it thinks it is. Asides to McKenna explain the plot to the audience while the main characters alternate between occasional action scenes and lots of talking. The plot vaguely plays with the rights and wrongs of being a soldier and the atrocities of the Balkans but mostly it is very thin wallpaper that is of no lasting (or even temporary) value. The action (and build-up) isn't really that interesting and is far from exciting – it isn't the lack of effects or budget, but just a lack of intensity or passion in the delivery.The cast match this rather lacklustre approach by doing the tick-box basics. Berenger mumbles and grunts his way across the film – his words suggest an interesting sort of character but in reality his performance offers little. Woodbine matches this by speaking as gruff as he can but that's about it. Outside of them nobody really makes an impression apart from the odd support member who you may recognise from other television shows or movies.Overall a fairly obvious TV movie that has potential but prefers to mostly just churn the story and characters out with the minimum of effort.

After renting this movie by mistake, I said to myself 'how bad can it be, I'll just sit tight and give it a try'. My dear Lord, what a mistake. I am a war movie buff myself, and I can swallow a lot of inconsistency, dumb dialogue, poor acting, thin plot and lousy sets, but this was way below the threshold. This movie was full of each, and than some. Tom Berenger is at the age when he should be enjoying his retirement benefits in Florida. Who was he fighting at the end - Hungarians, Serbs, Muslims? I know that, by now proverbial bad guys, the Serbs (which itself tells you how 'cliche' the plot was) were the target, but they ended up speaking the Hungarian, and this in a scenery that screams 'This Be Happening in Hungary'. For God's sake, do you think that the viewers are so uneducated. I could continue ranting, but the main point is, don't waste your time as I did with mine. Mr. Smith gives it 1/10, only because there is no 0 rating.
