Sniper: G.R.I.T. - Global Response & Intelligence Team

As part of the Sniper franchise this movie is likely the worst of them all. It is more of a parody than a Sniper movie. If this wasn't part of the franchise I might have rated this higher. It is silly, light hearted and whimsical. It's more of a comedy than an action movie. So it's been a downhill trend of the franchise from intense drama/action to silly comedy. The script is mediocre and the acting is passable. The character interaction is well done. It generates most of the humor. Lady Death is recast so that specific character dynamic is different. It's a watchable movie that has entertainment value but a total pendulum swing from the origins of the franchise.

What happened to this franchise? It's hard to believe the Sniper franchise has spanned over 31 years with 10 movies but the last two are terrible. I like the cast but the execution, the dialogue and the unfunny jokes ruined this one, just like the previous one. It's hardly about sniping anymore and this one seems to be heavily inspired by videogames like Hitman and Sniper Ghost Warrior and the guards even act like NPC in those games. Even the introduction of the targets are exactly like I have seen in those mentioned games. I mean the action is fine but a lot of scenes are just dumb and ridiculous. If they decide to make another one, please return to your roots.

This is undoubtedly the worst of The Sniper series of movies. Amateurish, comic book style, but with a lot of blood splatters. Nothing good to say about this rubbish. Chad Michael Collins has bulked up a bit, maybe he got paid in gym membership, but the other "actors" should have stayed home. The previous Sniper series actually had some based in reality sniping techniques, This had Beckett sniping on the hood of blue station wagon in the open wide no hint of cover or camouflage. The storyline was pathetic more like a preschool comic book than actual professional writing. Its a pity IMDb doesn't have the option for NO stars.
