This franchise took a wrong turn after Ghost Shooter! This is amateur filmmaking at every level and a complete lack of understanding and reverence for the franchise and the action fan base. Embarrassing and nonsensical. And the humor, I assume that was what they were going for, violated the one rule of humor - be funny! It wasn't funny or charming. This isn't Stranger Things. This isn't a franchise for 12 year olds. This was and should remain a hard actioner pitting bad against good in cat and mouse sniper battles. It's a movie meant for a mature audience. It's now coming off like a cartoon. The makers are missing the whole point. It's meant to be sneaky and stealthy, heavily relying on themes of isolation and the morality of killing from long range and what that does to the psyche. There is not one idea in this movie. It's not singular or strong. It's a weak movie, guided by no vision or perspective. The director/writer/editor/craft service had no idea how to mount or deliver and is tonally deaf to the source material and it's offensive to the fan base and action audience. I'm done with these movies for good. The studio brain trust is trying way too hard to reimagine this series. They've reimagined it to its grave.

I like everything about this ninth installment of Sniper Films series. It's worth the wait after two years since Sniper: Assassin's End was released in 2020. Highly recommend to watch if you are a fan of sniper films. A few words are for Brandon Beckett, being a master gunny, smart and rich in experience, he has deserved more recognition from the top leaders and proved that he can do anything if he thinks it's right. I love Brandon Beckett (portrayed by Actor Chad Michael Collins) very much, Honestly I like this Sniper Films series because he is simply the best.

The worst sniper movies ever. Music and action are too bad as well as bad acting. One of the cheap movies. Wasting my 95 minutes. None of the best action scenes. The only good thing, nice poster to attract people to watch this movie.

This ninth franchise has committed a critical leap by deviating from the usual hard-core action we see from the franchise - that itself is commendable especially for a newbie filmmaker. Although Mr. Thompson is not totally new to the franchise, which makes him aware of the general pitch of the 8th series - the off-rail has a purpose, I see it as a "respite" in preparation for the Sniper 10. So I have something to look forward to for the real action in Sniper 10. Storytelling-wise, it was direct and I wouldn't say predictable, although in my POV it could have a different ending, " claiming justice " by killing the perpetrator from the hands of " an already victim" is not justice and if I have to weigh-in the end part from the 1st part of the film , it's already a failure of their mission. That's the weak part for me in this movie, but that's my POV ( because I have worked with human trafficking cases in my professional life). Human Trafficking is the 3rd largest crime in the world and this movie touches that delicate issue but failed to at least show redemption in the end. However, not because the ending of the film was not how the way I wanted it to be, doesn't make the film bad. Thompson manages to deliver although it can show more. I like the general tone of the film, the colorist did well in here, cinematography was justified particularly in establishing the character of Josh Brener. The camera angling and transition is pro level ( of course it's Doug Pasko I guess?) the continuity and editing is neat ( my only issue was the dolly shot outside the house when the gang discovered they have 1 missing victim.) Theme music was cool, I particularly like the folk-rockish beat when Gildie was leaving the crime scene, or building ( I like Brendan Sexton's presence in this movie btw! Well done!) As for the other characters I believe this was Agent Zero's mission so Ryan did shine in here. As for Brandon Beckett well this was totally a different display of his character , from being a so seriously serious Sniper in all the 5 Sniper's , his funny side showed-up here. - (not to mention he had the shortest stint in the CIA ) . But this was remarkable in Mr. Thompson's storytelling , despite the comedic dialogues and approaches , the representation of each character was very much present. I particularly like the convo between The Colonel and Brandon outside the building while having "coffee" , the grit is still very much characterized by Brandon. Sony could actually release soundtracks of each Sniper films, I like the song " Teeth of The Master" , hope they release a single for the fans to enjoy. It can create a recall to the movie . Overall this is a good watch, I can give a solid 8 and looking forward for a great action in Sniper 10!
