Sniper is framed by unscrupulous government officials.

Rating: 7/10 (10 April 2007)

In this movie shooting a bullet is like a launch from NASA. Well, maybe I exaggerate, -BUT it can be more technical and involved than many realize. What's the movie about? Retired ace with a gun gets conned into government service one more time when Danny Glover's character waves the American flag at him and plays the guilt card. The assignment? Figure out the vulnerabilities -from a shooter's perspective- of an upcoming public presidential engagement so that he (the president) can be better protected. Yeah.
Well, what's a shooter to do? Accept the assignment, of course, so the fun can begin! If you like manhunt or fugitive-type movies then you more than likely will like this one. I did. 7 stars worth. This makes it a SHOULD-SEE movie and 1 star shy of being a MUST-SEE movie which in my opinion is 8-10 stars.
In balance, the plot did seem a little murky to me on one or more occasion but that could just be me being dumb or not paying close enough attention. NEVER MIND THAT. The "basic idea" is clear and you can run pretty good with that. Love, Boloxxxi.
