Sniping the line of life and death - it's really ordinary

In recent years, the films devoted to snipers have been lackluster, but the few seconds of flash in many action films are impressive. Now I have finally waited for the so-called film dedicated to the description of snipers, and I finished it with full anticipation, watched it, and the result-disappointed!

The first is the positioning of a movie. I think it's more of an anti-war movie that exposes the dark side of politics rather than an action movie. The repeated mentions of the Middle East, oil and Iraq, as well as the politicians described throughout, make people have to wonder if the director is an "angry youth"! Although there are many action scenes in the film, they basically lack enough highlights. I feel that the beginning is more exciting than the ending, which gives me a feeling of anticlimactic. It is also the last personal hero method to eradicate the black forces, and the "Evaporation Secret Order" N years ago felt more comfortable.


Next is the character setting. The male protagonist looked familiar, but he didn't know his name. In fact, his role grasp is still in place, a calm, confident and imperceptible anger makes people feel like a sniper. The pain caused by the sacrifice of his comrades and the subconscious despair revealed when he fled also enriched the character image. Generally speaking, it is only qualified, not brilliant, not as good as the classic "Double Sniper". As for the supporting role, the rookie FBI, I really don't understand why there is such a character. Is it because there must be two people involved in sniping? It can be said that he can help the protagonist to clarify the facts, but after watching all the films, in addition to providing some information and maintaining contact with the leadership, he is also a part-time observer. In the end, he did not play a big role, and failed! In addition to helping the hero heal her wounds, the heroine ran errands and took the hostage as a hostage. She also had an inexplicable relationship with him. It seemed more practical than the rookie, but in fact, she could only be regarded as a big man in the pile of files! The villain's role is still good, old, cunning and cold-blooded, and even a little domineering. Maybe when I recall this film in the future, I will only remember the arrogant laughter of the dead fat man!


Lastly is the action scene. Since it is a sniper, the classic two-person team is indispensable. The first paragraph has a kind of excitement that makes people's blood swell, it is very exciting, I even feel like I'm hitting the delta, hehe. And then to the back, basically can not see that kind of tacit professional sniping. The section of the wooden house makes people look more like CQB. I only know that the people who arrested the hero are really sorry for the master who paid them, and they wasted bullets around the hero very amateur. Maybe people want to catch them alive, huh, huh. It can only be explained that way. But the overall tactical failure is stark. They knew that the opponent was a sniper and had helpers, but when they advanced, there was no sniper cover on the outside, and there was no clear tactical formation. The last paragraph of the snow-capped duel was over before I could understand it. I didn't see anything special. The simple mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind, and there was not even the suffocation of the master duel, which was disappointing. I thought that the heroine was also a trainee, and there should be two strokes. I didn't think about it. I didn't think about it. It's just a piece of waste wood.

    Nick Memphis: Yeah.

    Nick Memphis: How come?

    Mr. Rate: Whoever took that shot's probably dead now. That's how conspiracy works. Them boys on the grassy knoll, they were dead within three hours. Buried in the damn desert. Unmarked graves out past Terlingua.

    Mr. Rate: Still got the shovel!
