Robin Larsen Oh hello you there! Are you another one of the war/sniper movie lovers just like me? Looking for a good movie to fill your time? Maybe to watch with friends or family? Or maybe you are just sitting all by yourself looking for another one of those war movies that made you shake of excitement and yelling to the screen. This movie will most definitely make you both shake and yell. But not in the correct way.First of all, the movie is called Sniper: Special Ops, but where is the sniping? One would expect that a sniper movie would contain more than three sniper shots. Another thing i just can't understand is how a reporter (who all of a sudden became a former marksman right in the middle of the movie without any warning) can shoot more accurate with a handgun than marines can with rifles. Just because you're a marksman it doesn't mean you can hit anything with any weapon. For everyone that has seen a previous war movie the first thing that strikes you is that the actors are way to old to make the characters seem credible, as well as the extreme lack of understanding for basic combat strategy or anything involving combat and war in general. It might seem like director(s) just wrote down the name of every hillbilly in the US who didn't got to join the military in their younger days and just pulled some random names out of a hat when they were looking for actors.There are a lot more things that is wrong with this movie that i could have mentioned, but then i would literally sit here all day and i think the other 1-2 star raters managed to sum it up quite good as well. Don't even bother to read the good ratings, its all nonsense. I think I've seen about every war movie that there is to find, and i can honest to God say that this is the worst movie i've ever seen and the one reason why i bothered to watch all of it was to see how low things would get. The only reason why you would want to watch this movie is if you are standing at the edge of a cliff, in need of that one little extra push to get yourself over the edge. Well.. after seeing this movie I ended up getting pushed all the way from my living room to the edge. Thanks for wasting 84 minutes of my life. Please just don't watch this movie. Ever. Im begging you.

Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) This movie would have been MUCH better without Seagal in it.Firstly, the low score... c'mon people, how can you rate a B movie as an A movie? For a B movie with a decent budget, it was acceptable and enjoyable. Tim Abell was awesome and acted his part very well, as did Charlene Amoia, and as everyone else BUT Steven Seagal. I grew up as a big fan of his but this latest movie disgusted me... why is his name as a headliner? It should have been Tim Abell. Every part of Seagal being in that movie was annoying, from his dark-dyed goatee, lame attitude, lazy acting, boring vocabulary, and lack of Seagal action. Any other actor, even a no name would have made this movie more enjoyable than Seagal being in it.Aside Seagal, I gave this B movie a 7 and would have given it at least 1-2 more stars if Seagal wasn't in it. Decent story, action and acting.

brchthethird SNIPER: SPECIAL OPS stars Steven Seagal as, get this, a sniper attached to a Special Ops unit. Who knew? It's also the fourth film in what renegade film critic Vern has affectionately dubbed his "Goatee Era." The basic plot is that a Special Ops unit is performing a rescue mission in Afghanistan when things go south and turn into a firefight. Seagal and another soldier are left behind, and the remainder of the team gets sent on a side mission after returning to base, hoping to eventually go back and retrieve Seagal and the other guy, who are still waiting in place. I thought that the story was OK, but nothing special. As is typical with Seagal films, there is some stuff thrown about that makes it a little bit topical, and there was an authentic feel to the dialogue, costumes, and the way the actors carried themselves. All this was fine, and the performances were generally serviceable, if unremarkable. The major problem is the serious lack of Seagal himself. Although he is top-billed and appears on the poster, he really doesn't do all that much. Some other actor could have played his part and no difference would have been made. As for the action, it's mostly just a bunch of shootouts and firefights, and a couple of stock explosions towards the end. There were also a number of interesting throwaway lines and asides that made the characters a little more colorful than they were probably written. Overall, I found this seriously lacking as a Seagal film, but for what it's worth, SNIPER: SPECIAL OPS is a decent low-budget actioner that doesn't insult your intelligence too much.

FlashCallahan Remember when Seagal used to make films where he appeared to be pro-active and actually put some effort into his fight scenes and running scenes?Where you one of those people who just yearned for a Seagal film where he would be sitting down for 90% of his screen time' and be wearing sunglasses for 99% of his screen time?Well after 28 years of appearing in films, here's the one you've been waiting for.....And it's not that Van Damme either.....When the mission to rescue a U.S. Congressman who has been kidnapped by the Taliban goes sideways, Army sniper Jake Chandler and his injured partner are left behind. Now, on their own, they must survive in enemy territory and wait for their unit to come back for them........Terrible is one word to describe this film, others would be using obscene language, so I'm not going to go down that route. The film is split into two different stories, one involving a spoilt little rich girl who wants in on the action, whilst the grizzled soldiers are like 'no way....no way.....no way........go on then'.The other is involving (ha ha involving) Seagal and a sweaty partner who cannot walk just sitting in a room. He sweaty partner is a walking (pun intended) cliché, talking about being back home and blah blah blah, and Seagal sits there, in his sunglasses saying nothing.And there is literally one point where he gets up and goes to the shop.This is a real new low for Seagal, he is once again dubbed, he's hardly in any shots with other people in the film, and he could've been using a double half the time as his face is that obscure.But it's worth watching for the sheer audacity of a once reputable name in Hollywood doing something so lazy, so meaningless, and so offensive toward his loyal fan base.He knows his fans will see this no matter what, and he's just sitting there, and I for one, felt unhealthy just looking at the man.Absolute trash from beginning to end....
