Item description for Sniper / Sniper 2 (Double Feature) DVD Tom Berenger, Billy Zane, Bokeem Woodbine

An adrenaline-pumping,invigorating...action film. One shot. One kill. No exceptions. By that hard and fast rule, legendary Marine sniper (Tom Berenger) serves his lonely duty. With 74 confirmed kills, he may be ready for his final assignment. But is he ready for his toughest? The Pentagon has chosen GS-9 Richard Miller (Billy Zane), a silver-medal marksman aiming for a Washington promotion. Together the bush-savvy gunner and the inexperienced bureaucrat must track down and eliminate a powerful rebel leader and his Colombian druglord financier. It's a suicide mission into the jungles of Central America, where a man carries his life in his hands - and lives it one bullet at a time. The first "Sniper" movie was also a good film -- more of a character study than an action story (in my opinion). This sequel took on some of that same flavor as well, though there was sufficient action in the movie to keep it from dragging.

Tom Berenger reprises the original character (Becker) well. Somewhat anti-social (shy, really), grumpy but with deep feelings, Becker is an interesting and complex character. In this sequel, Becker is older, wider around the middle, but he still is a fabulous marksman (despite an injury that put him out of the sniper business after the first film). And so after years of retirement, he's called into service once again, on a foolhardy and convoluted mission. His interaction and relationship with the other man brought in on the mission is good -- like in the first movie, he often calls this younger man "son" as he argues and bickers (and looks out) for him. I thought Becker's character was consistent in both films, and I liked this. I liked Becker, and it was nice to see him yet again. However, just like in the first film, there was a somewhat anti-climatic ending, (left me thinking, "That's the end?") but it was still adequate enough. I cared about all the characters, but a few left the story too soon, and I felt cheated because I didn't get to know more about them.
