scott was building on a formidable foundation : the incident portrayed in the film , where an american special forces mission to capture a warlord from the streets of mogadishu in 1993 goes desperately wrong , was the subject of a series of articles published in the philadelphia inquirer and written by mark bowden , who later turned them into a book . the reporting was meticulous , extensive and deep : as well as interviewing as many of the participants as he could track down , bowden went through hours of aircraft cockpit recordings and video footage shot during the operation , and took care to ensure the somali side of the story was told just as thoroughly .

by some , but the incident was observed by hathcock ' s spotter , john roland burke , who surveyed the scene after the kill . given the flight time of rounds at long ranges , both snipers could easily have killed one another . the enemy rifle was recovered and the incident is documented by a photograph . after an investigation , the marine corps confirmed the incident and registered the kill to hathcock . see more »

exactly the same thing happens in american sniper , but in entirely different ways . the film deletes most of the passages from the book where kyle ' s views would have alienated left - leaning audiences , and - crucially - adds in scenes emphasising how the war took its toll on him , too : reading the book , you see this between more or less every line , yet kyle studiously avoided anything which might make him appear a victim . the reasons for these changes in the film are obvious enough : kyle ' s book made him a minor celebrity , and the post - military work he began before writing it , with traumatised fellow veterans , was only beginning before he became a best - selling author . the film takes his life story to its desperate and dramatic conclusion , beyond the end of the book ' s timeline - avoiding detail presumably because kyle ' s apparent murder remains the subject of an ongoing court case .

rotten tomatoes , a review aggregator , reports that 42 % of twelve surveyed critics gave the film a positive review ; the average rating was 4 . 7 / 10 . roger ebert rated it 3 / 4 stars and wrote ,
sniper expresses a cool competence that is a pleasure to watch . it isn ' t a particularly original film , but what it does , it does well .
variety called it
an expertly directed , yet ultimately unsatisfying psychological thriller
that is
undermined by underdeveloped characters and pedestrian dialogue .
vincent canby of the new york times described it as
partly a badly choreographed action drama and partly a psychological exploration of beckett ' s mind , which comes up empty .
usmc master gunnery sergeant thomas beckett ( tom berenger ) uses an m40a1 in 7 . 62x51mm nato , a sniper rifle based on the remington model 700 . the m40a1 rifles used in the film were remington 700 rifles , supplied for the filming by ' weapons and effects ' of san rafael , ca . the rifles were fully prepared as though they would see real use , with aftermarket bedding , trigger jobs , mcmillan stocks and parkerization done by scott , mcdougall & associates of santa rosa , ca .
tough guy thomas beckett is an us soldier working in the panamanian jungle . his job is to seek out rebels and remove them using his sniper skills . beckett is notorious for losing his partners on such missions . this time he ' s accompanied by crack marksman richard miller .
least known to some in the film industry , though an admired international music figure , is traore , a musician and singer who straddles modernity and tradition and broke through with 1998’s “mouneissa . ” her latest release is 2013’s “beatiful africa . ”
on rotten tomatoes , the film holds a 48 % approval rating based on 147 reviews ; the average rating is 5 . 6 / 10 . the site ' s consensus reads ,
with an implausible story and numerous plot holes , shooter fails to distinguish itself from other mindless action - thrillers .
[ 10 ] metacritic assigns the film a weighted average score of 53 out of 100 , based on 33 critics , indicating
mixed or average reviews

en route to the target , they realize they are being followed . they head to a village to contact their informant , a priest , only to find that he has been tortured and murdered by alvarez ' s men well before they arrived . beckett speculates out loud that it is the work of el cirujano , calling into question miller ' s credibility . that night , beckett marks their track to bait the follower - the sniper that killed papich - into a trap and uses miller as bait to pull the sniper out of hiding to take him out .
throughout the film , swagger uses an array of sniper weapons , among which are the usmc m40a3 , [ 4 ] the cheytac intervention , [ 5 ] and the barrett m82 sniper rifles . donnie fenn used an m4a1 with a cobray 37mm launcher ( commonly used by tv and movie armorers as a stand - in for the m203 grenade launcher ) and m68 close combat optic in the african opening sequences . a pair of remington 700ps were bought by swagger and memphis while on the run . other weapons used by swagger include a beretta m9 and a commandeered m4a1 with an aimpoint sight , in the fight against the 24 mercenaries and a colt m1911 - a1 and a suppressed m4a1 in the final scene . fenn ' s old . 22 rifle that swagger used on the lake scene is a cooey model 60 .
the norinco type 56 - 1 is carried by several guerrilla fighters in the film . they are fitted with akm - style slanted muzzles , but are identifiable as type 56s and not actual akms from the hooded foresight that only chinese aks have .
it is , i admit , strange that
sniper
is so blase about the fact that the heroes are murderers . after all of those angry costa - gavras thrillers about corrupt american death squads , here is a movie that pragmatically assumes that ' s the way the world turns .

the production team for sniper 7 features swiss director claudio fäh , who already directed sniper : reloaded and who has worked on productions such as northmen : a viking saga and coronado ; canadian carl goldstein as assistant director ; australian ross clarkson as director of photography , a position he held on films like the expendables 2 and conan the barbarian ; american donnie dean , winner of an emmy in 2015 for his special effects work on american horror story ; and new zealander steve mcquillan as stunt coordinator , a position he also held on the lord of the rings trilogy and the spartacus series .
because the movies are such a curiously voyeuristic form , we identify with the heroes and accept their actions , at least as long as the film runs . afterward , there are some hard questions to answer , but not about llosa ' s filmmaking skill .
not a word is said in the film about the stalin regime’s savagery , as terrible as that of the nazis . unit commissars imposed iron discipline : during the battle 13 , 500 russian soldiers were shot by their own side for alleged cowardice or desertion .
what appears to be a glock pistol is carried by sanaa ( mercedes masöhn ) . upon closer inspection , the pistol actually appears to be a zoraki 917 , a blank - firing only glock clone that is only available in europe , where the film was produced .
at the core of the film is a big truth : the successful defence of the city proved a critical landmark in the war — much more so than el alamein or any other british military achievement in the years between the battle of britain and d - day .
on the other hand , “american sniper” never shies away from depicting kyle as racist and xenophobic , an innocent abroad rendered armed and exceptionally dangerous . after sitting through the film twice , i’m more convinced than ever that there’s a level of sardonic commentary at work that is sometimes subtle and sometimes pretty damn obvious . pay attention to cooper’s increasingly congested body language , the posture of a man stricken with unmanageable psychic distress . pay attention to the use of the phrase “mission accomplished” late in the film , or the stateside scene in which kyle runs into a marine whose life he saved in fallujah and can’t even make eye contact with the guy . this is a portrait of an american who thought he knew what he stood for and what his country stood for and never believed he needed to ask questions about that . he drove himself to kill and kill and kill based on that misguided ideological certainty – that brainwashing , though i’m sure clint eastwood would never use that word – and then paid the price for it . so did we all , and the reception of this film suggests that the payments keep on coming due .
after the training ( which takes up nearly a quarter of the pages ) , lone survivor mainly sticks to the one harrowing incident . luttrell inserts information he found out afterwards into the timeline - particularly about the vigil that took place at his family home while he was missing . american sniper is more of an overarching autobiography , kyle ' s claim to fame when it was written being his having killed more enemy combatants than any sniper in american military history , something that clearly takes a long time to happen . the films adhere to these same basic structures but the points at which each movie departs from the book are revealing .
filming took place from september 24 to october 22 of this year , but pre - production began months earlier , with leading action movie professionals in fields like special effects and stunt doubles training the colombian crew . around 13 foreign and 170 colombians have worked on the film .
plot the movie starts off with master gunnery sergeant thomas beckett ( berenger ) , an experienced sniper , and his spotter cpl . papich ( aden young ) assassinating a panamanian rebel leader in the jungle . afterward , they take up a position in an isolated part of the jungle and wait out until nighttime for an extraction . however , they are extracted at daylight much to the dismay of beckett . an experienced rebel sniper , formerly trained by beckett , kills papich as the two reach the helicopter , but beckett is able to retrieve his body and bring it to the helicopter . infuriated , beckett blames the helicopter co for papich ' s death .
ok movie . there ' s not much in the way of plot , and character development is practically non - existent , but the action is well - executed , the concept of getting inside a sniper ' s mindset and planning fairly unique and berenger ' s lead performance is compelling enough to make this a watchable genre pic .
there is a tiny bit in sniper one which has 2 versions . the trailer on flixster shows a different version when the dc guys talk to billy zane s character about his mission in pananma . check out 00 : 21 the flixster trailer . the dvd version is totally different . i dont know if this was the theater version ?
the film ' s great triumph - and a bigger differentiating point from american sniper or lone survivor even than its lack of budget or marquee - name stars - is that it sticks to the facts without worrying about the cinematic consequences . as a result , it succeeds on every level , yet does so by seeming to break every rule in the book . it is the tensest of action films , yet contains no real
action
- there ' s barely even any movement . aside from a moment where one of the paras is listening to the kaiser chiefs on his ipod during some down time , and a new song ( ' all of my life ' , written and performed by phoebe katis ) that plays over the end credits , there is no music . the nearest the soldiers get to the taliban is watching them through binoculars , yet the film shows the paras in the fight of their lives .
tom berenger essays a marine sniper , oddly named thomas beckett , on assignment in panama . pic quickly establishes sniping as a lonely profession shunned even by other gung - ho marines . on his latest assignment he’s accompanied by an ambitious young washington bureaucrat , richard miller ( billy zane ) , who is so green he doesn’t really need camouflage .

achante bharya is a 1971 indian malayalam film , directed and produced by thikkurissi sukumaran nair . the film stars adoor bhasi , k . p . ummer , ragini and thikkurissi sukumaran nair in lead roles . the film had musical score by v . dakshinamoorthy . it was released in 1971 and based on the tamil film chitthi . chitthi was remade in hindi as aurat , in telugu as pinni .
bharya bhartalu is a unique film which showcased the acting capabilities of krishna kumari and fetched her great stardom . she acted equally brilliant with a stalwart like anr . in fact , it was a challenging role for anr as well because it has shades of negativity . it is very difficult for a hero with positive image to act in a role which involves him going behind the female lead and being a careless individual . moreover , during the 60s era , hero was supposed to be positive , good looking , sacrificing person and so on . popular director k . v . reddy even warned anr before he chose to act in such contrasting role . nevertheless , anr took it as a challenge and went forward . the script was made in such a way that anr’s character gets high sympathy in the second half by pratyagatma . it is a debut film for director pratyagatma as well . the film was successful in telugu and was also critically acclaimed . it was made in tamil and hindi too .
a . v . subbarao trusted the judgment of dukkipati madhusudana rao . he sent prathyagathma to narrate the story to dukkipati . the annapurna pictures boss listened to the narrative and said , ‘go ahead , you have a winner . ’ that settled the matters . with anr too now convinced , prasad art pictures , bharya bharthalu , went on floors . thus a popular tamil novel found its way to the telugu tinsel world even before the tamil film industry woke up to its potential .
this veteran telegu actor had a career spanning over 75 years and is considered one of the most iconic figures in telegu cinema . his debut was at the age of 17 in dharmapatni . since it was not permissible for women to act on stage , he played female roles as well . nageswar rao is most remembered for playing mythological roles in movies such as maya bazaar , chenchu lakshmi , bhookailash and sri krishnarjuna yuddham . he excelled in the films that were set against a rural backdrop and became the superstar of telegu cinema . some such movies were balaraju , rojulu maraayi and namminabantu . he even played the comic role with great skill in missamma , chakrapani and preminchi choodu . his performance in romantic dramas such laila majnu , anarkali , batasari , devadasu , prem nagar , premabhishekam and meghasandesham made him the ‘tragedy king’ . throughout his career he played a variety of roles with great dexterity . some of his other successful movies include samsaram , bratuku teruvu , aradhana , donga ramudu , dr . chakravarthi , ardhaangi , mangalya balam , illarikam , shantinivasam , velugu needalu , dasara bullodu , bharya bhartalu , dharmadata , batasari , college bullodu and sitaramayyagari manavaralu . his last movie was manam . nageswar rao’s greatest contribution to telegu cinema is that he was instrumental in shifting the base of telegu cinema from chennai to hyderabad . he is the recipient of dada saheb phalke award and padma vibushan .
cast & crew : prathyagathma’s forte was his screen writing . the screenplay he wrote for bharya bharthalu was considered one of the best even today . he was ably supported by the dialogue writers sri sri and atluri pitcheswara rao . atluri’s dialogues were at his best in this movie . after her marriage krishna kumari tells anr , ‘ ee pellitho naa sareeram meeda adhikaram sampadincharu kaani naa hrudayam meeda kaadu . kaani hrudayalatho meekempani meeku kaavalasindi sareeramega… ee sareeram meedi ’ ( with this marriage you have acquired the right over my body but not on my heart . anyway what do you do with hearts , all you need is the body , this body yours ) so saying in anguish she thrusts herself towards him . as his past still haunts him though he is reformed now , in angst anr responds that he will not touch her till she accepts him .

scouting for a story for his debut directorial , prathyagathma chanced upon reading the review of a tamil novel , ‘ penn manam ’ in the hindu . the story of a playboy falling in love with an upright woman who loathes him and the subsequent events that take place in their life appealed to him . after the novel was read out to him , prathyagathma was fully convinced that with a few changes it can be developed into a good movie script . a medical practitioner by profession , dr . k . tripurasundari wrote the novel under the pseudonym lakshmi . producer a . v . subbarao too liked the subject and bought its filming rights . retaining its soul , prathyagathma tweaked the novel so much and so well that it looked like a new story . one of the elements he had brought in , the homicide instead of forgery to implicate the hero in a crime made a great difference . when he narrated the story to his guru t . prakash rao and to l . v . prasad both discouraged him from taking up such an anti - sentiment subject for his debut film that showed the hero in a poor light . even anr who was signed to play the lead expressed apprehensions about playing the role of a playboy .
the story : a philanderer , anand falls in love with sarada ( krishna kumari ) daughter of a lawyer’s clerk sivakamaiah ( ramana reddy ) and manages to marry her even though she loathes him . as things are getting better between them , his ex - girl friend the play girl hemalatha ( girija ) reappears . she cons anand to visit her . anjaneyulu ( padmanabham ) whom hemalatha ‘married on paper , ’ kills her for cheating on him . anand is implicated in the murder . as public prosecutor anand’s father dharmarao ( gummadi ) argues against him while anand’s elder brother lawyer ramanandam ( relangi ) defends him . to elicit the truth from anjaneyulu , ramanandam , sarada and sivakamaiah’s father - in - law kutumbaiah ( chadalavada ) enact a ‘mask’ drama . anjaneyulu confesses to the crime . anand is absolved .
this scene was a fine example of prathyagathma’s ability to conceive a delicate situation without a trace of vulgarity . the actors must also be complimented for their brilliant expressions caught equally brilliantly by cinematographer c . nageswara rao with slick editing from a . sanjeevi .
it was krishna kumari’s first full length role with anr after she played one of his two heroines in pellikanuka . relangi , suryakantham , chadalavada , ramana reddy and sandhya ( as his young wife ) created ripples of laughter . girija and padmanabham who sported a jerry lewis crew cut showed the ability to portray different characters beyond their comic image .
saluri rajeswara rao made great contribution with his music . the super hit songs include – sri sri’s lyrics , joruga husharuga shikaru podama ( ghantasala ) , yemani padedano ee vela ( susheela ) and madhuram madhuram ee samayam ( ghantasala , susheela ) , kanakama chitti kanakama ( kosaraju ; madhavapeddi , swarnalatha ) .
trivia : the word prathyagathma means ‘above the supreme being . ’ he had directed a few hindi films including raja aur runk under the assumed name – k . p . athma .
interestingly , l . v . prasad who discouraged prathyagathma from taking up this story for his debut film bought its tamil and hindi remake rights . while he directed the tamil movie , iruvar ullam ( 1963 ) with sivaji ganesan and b . saroja devi in the lead , with screenplay and dialogues by mu . karunanidhi , the other person to discourage , t . prakash rao , directed the hindi version hamrahi ( 1963 ) starring rajendra kumar and south star jamuna . both the versions ran for 25 weeks .

a richman ( gummadi ) has two sons . his elder son ramanand ( relangi ) a practicing lawyer and younger son prasad ( anr ) is a student . ramanand gets married to a woman ( suryakantham ) . prasad is a happy go lucky guy who doesn’t attend classes or take career seriously . he goes around women and passes time in his own style . meanwhile a vamp ( girija ) goes behind prasad . meanwhile , another guy ( padmanabham ) follows the vamp with determination because he loves her . in this juncture prasad meets a poor lady sarada ( krishnakumari ) . she comes to prasad’s house to teach tuitions . her father ( ramana reddy ) and step mother ( sandhya ) plan to get her married and send her off . prasad goes behind sarada and tries to woo her but the latter doesn’t respond . prasad plans to trap her and achieves his goal by marrying her . but on the first night , sarada expresses her opinion in straightforward manner to prasad . prasad realizes his fault and understands the individuality of his wife . he decides not to touch her until she realizes about him and really starts admiring him . he tries to transform his qualities to a good person and when sarada falls ill , he does lot of service to her . sarada understands that prasad has changed and falls in love with him . when things become happy , suddenly a twist happens in the story . prasad’s ex lover ( girija ) blackmails him because she is unable to forget him . she calls him to his house but the latter warns her . meanwhile , she gets killed in mysterious circumstances and the crime falls on prasad . but prasad’s brother ramanand takes up the case and gets his brother out by the help of sarada . ramanand proves that the vamp was killed by her stalker ( padmanabham ) with strong evidence . prasad is proved innocent and the story ends on happy note with prasad and sarada staring a new life .
anr excels as prasad with contrasting shades . his performance as a care not guy in the beginning and a changed person later is admirable . krishna kumari gets a memorable role as sarada , a woman with individuality . she adds grace and poise to the film with her unique acting skills . ramana reddy is very good as the father of sarada and sandhya does a good job as the step mother . girija does a challenging role as the vamp and padmanabham is equally good . relangi is wonderful as the lawyer and brother of prasad .
story by dr . k . tripura sundari it at the dramatic best and very gripping . s . rajeshwara rao’s melodious music adds as a strong pillar for the success of the film . ‘emani paadedano ee vela’ , ‘joruga husharu ga’ , ‘o sukumara nanu chera’ , ‘madhuram madhuram ee samayam’ , ‘choochi choochi kallu kaayale kaachayi’ became all time hits . partagatma’s direction is very skilful despite being a debut film .
