Fans of the others may like this but be prepared, there isn't as much action as you have come to expect from this series.

"One shot, one kill." Brandon Beckett (Collins) is an elite sniper following in his father's footsteps. When he finds out that a rogue US sniper has been taking out high ranking military officers he wants to find a way to stop him. When he finds out that his dad, the legendary Thomas Beckett (Berenger) was one of the victims it becomes personal. Collins is on a quest for blood but when he is ambushed he is surprised that his father is the one who rescues him. Now the two of them together must not only stop the assassin but figure out who it is and why he is doing this. I have to admit that I have seen all of the other movies in this series but I don't really remember any of them. To me that's not the sign of a good movie. They are all pretty much the same thing and a little too slow for me. My son has really enjoyed these so we sat down to watch this together. I had to fight to stay awake and so did he. When it was over his only comment was the last 15 minutes was good the rest was really boring. I have to agree, when you watch a movie called Sniper you are looking for action and suspense. This one focused too much on the father/son aspect which normally is a good thing but the writing and dialog were not the best and the movie just seemed to drag on and on. There was a lot of planning scenes and not enough action scenes for either of us to stay interested in. Overall, fans of the others may like this but be prepared, there isn't as much action as you have come to expect from this series. I give it a C+.

DRINKING FROM THE DEVIL'S CUP.

Brandon Beckett (Chad Michael Collins) is a sniper in Syria. He has his doubts about his occupation and desires a transfer to the dismay of his female partner Sanaa (Mercedes Mason). Meanwhile Simpson (Doug Allen) a former sniper from Afghanistan is killing off his former officers because of a botched Afghanistan mission where he got hit by friendly fire. One of the victims is Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger) Brandon's father...a game changer.

The films shows a lot of sniper shooting. Much of it is sniper vs. sniper, which even eventually has to come down to some hand to hand. The plot is fairly simple and the only real unanswered question is Simpson working alone or was he hired by the man who has them in "good hands" Dennis Haysbert as "The Colonel."

The acting for this war film is minimal. Some of the soundtrack seems to have been lifted from the Bourne series as Chad Michael Collins becomes Matt Damon light. What I liked about the film was the dialogue. The shooting terminology jargon seemed real to my untrained ear. I don't know if this is how sniper's really talk, but I was convinced it was. The second was the unreal dialogue, i.e. the memorable one-liners they tossed about. For example:

"Drinking from the devil's cup."

"It's black on black."

"I'm not here" spoken by the Allstate man.

"The bullet either wants you or it don't."

"For those of you who skipped class, that's sniping in the grass."

"I would rather take my long gun than your short arms."

"They break me. They put me back together."

"Allah himself doesn't know we're here."

"You tough it out."

"No limits."

"One shot. One kill."

For those who like cliche filled tough guy films with simple linear plots and without Seagal, this is it.

Parental Guidance: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Belly dancer eye candy.

Rather generic

SNIPER: LEGACY is, I think, the fifth in the endless SNIPER series of straight-to-video action thrillers. This one features Tom Berenger heavily in the advertising but his role is reduced to little more than an extended cameo. The film is something of an interminable mess with a lot of gritty action but a plot that meanders all over the place. A bad guy sniper is taking out military brass so Berenger's son is called in to go up against him. He's also lied to that his father was a victim, which turns out not to be the case. Although this film is superficially entertaining it lacks proper filmic qualities and feels very digital and digitised, with little that sees it standing out from the crowd.
