  Sniper (1993)
Though the plot may be familiar (mistrustful pair teamed together to go on a dangerous assignment), the premise of having two snipers as the protagonists is interesting.
Berenger is convincing in his portrayal of a hardened, veteran sniper, completely impassive in what he does.
This movie is a joke and a waste of time (possible spoilers)

I hope Sniper 2 is better than Sniper 1 in the choice of weapons needed for those scenes since this was a covert operation backed by what seems to be a CIA kill for political purposes and exploitation of action and plot.

This movie is not boring just because the whole time all they did was walking in a jungle their personalities as characters along with shotting bad guys is what made this movie interesting.
The movie is loved by Sniper-lover-types because its the only one of its kind that tries to delve into what it's like to be a Sniper.

 Sniper (1993)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Trivia: The weapon used by Billy Zane in this movie is not an H&K PSG-1, an expensive precision semi-automatic rifle commonly used by special forces snipers.
The one that distracts the enemy sniper is a cheap "survival" knife, while the one Beckett is seen untying is a Marine Corps fighting knife, or "Ka-Bar".
The movie certainly conveys all of the emotions it aims for - The helplessness of humans in the jungle, the hatred and eventual trust between Beckett and Miller, and the rush of the moment when they pull the trigger.

 Chicago Sun-Times: Sniper movie deserves to be seen at later date
The studio canceled the publicity junket and discouraged the stars of the film from talking about it, lest they be accused of capitalizing on the string of highly publicized kidnappings of children that were featured on the cable news channels throughout the summer of 2002.
The studio was so fearful of criticism that it dumped the movie into theaters with no backup, thus ensuring that it would tank hard at the box office.
The film is primarily a psychological thriller, focusing on the duel of nerves and ad-lib thinking between Farrell and the sniper who has trained a laser scope on him--but we do see scenes of victims being felled by one shot in broad daylight, without anybody figuring out where the attacks originated.

 Too soon for D.C. sniper movie?   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Less than a year after the arrests of John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo, the first movie about the shootings that terrorized the suburbs and exurbs of the nation’s capital is here.
And while it’s nearly impossible to replicate the feeling of waking up every morning wondering if there’s going to be another shooting, the movie does capture both the pervasive anxiety of the region and the stunning randomness of the attacks.
Ultimately, there are few surprises in “D.C. Sniper.” While Dutton has some powerful moments, he plays Moose largely as the world saw him: at times steely and determined, at times bumbling and frustrated, at times overcome with emotion at the plight of the victims.

 Sniper Movie Delayed
LOS ANGELES(AP) - With a deadly sniper terrorizing the suburbs of the nation's capital, 20th Century Fox has decided to delay the release of a thriller about people being pinned down in a phone booth by a gunman they can't see.
The assumption is they are delaying this because of the sniper in DC.

 BBC NEWS | World | Americas | America watches 'sniper movie'
The Washington sniper trial has got under way in the American state of Virginia with one of the two defendants, John Muhammad, appearing in court to act as his own defence lawyer.
Even as the trial was yet to begin, over the weekend American TV audiences were able to watch a movie dramatisation involving two fl actors who look just like and have the same character names as the two real-life defendants.
The dramatisation, called DC Sniper: 23 Days of Fear, showed the characters gunning down their victims in cold blood, included genuine breaking TV news bulletins and even endeavoured to explain the dark motivations of Mr Muhammad and Mr Malvo, without any effort to disguise their identities.

 Sniper Movie on Hold?
The plot of the film bears some similarities to the sniper attacks on the East Coast that have killed seven people and wounded two in the Washington area.
In the real cases, no one is known to have seen the triggerman carry out any of the attacks, although some witnesses reported seeing a white van flee some of the shooting scenes.
Cohen's 1976 film "God Told Me To" had a similar sniper theme — it was about a series of random shooting murders by a madman who thinks God talks to him.

Not much can be called original about the script of 'Sniper 3.' Thomas Beckett is sent to Vietnam, where he fought his war with his buddy during the war 30 years ago.
Though the film is watchable thanks to the actors and locale, 'Sniper 3' reminds us of the fact that we really need somebody who can save Tom Berenger from this Grade B straight-to-video hell.
I think that sniper 3 could of had potential but it was bad.

The two-hour docudrama stars Charles S. Dutton as Charles Moose, the Maryland police official who became an instant celebrity last year during a three-week shooting spree that claimed 13 lives.
While that masterful 1967 movie (and the surprisingly good TV version of 1996) played on the fear of evil descending on a peaceful home, this one evokes an equally potent nightmare, the horror of murder by an unseen hand.

Tom Berenger and Billy Zane head the cast in this silly action film about a tough Marine and an Olympics marksman who team up in the Panamanian jungle to take out a rebel leader and the drug kingpin financing him.
In any case, the acting doesn't matter as much to director Luis Llosa as fancy camerawork to give viewers the sense of a bullet hurling along its trajectory.

15/10/02 12:00 AM Colin Farrell's latest movie, Phone Booth, a thriller about a man periled by a sniper, is itself in peril, given current events in suburban Maryland and Virginia, where a sniper is currently on a killing spree.
The New York Times reports that the movie, to have been released by 20th Century Fox on Nov. 15, may be delayed.
Farrell, 26, was last seen this summer in the Tom Cruise-Steven Spielberg sci-fi thriller "Minority Report." As The Times reports, releasing "Phone Booth" at the moment might be considered tasteless.
