Wow! Such a good movie.
One of my all time favorites.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Still suffering from a wound incurred during a previous mission and having aged to a point where his career is about at an end, "MSgt Thomas Beckett" (Tom Berenger) is somewhat saddened to learn that his next potential assignment involves returning to Vietnam and killing a man named "Paul Finnegan" (John Doman) who saved his life during the war. However, when informed that the man he knew has become a drug lord and has knowledge which might embarrass the United States, he accepts the mission as a matter of principle. Naturally, since it has been many years since he was last in Vietnam he is assigned a covert agent named "Quan" (Byron Mann) to help him locate his target. But what neither MSgt Beckett nor Quan realize is that there is a reason the National Security Agency (NSA) wants to kill Paul and it has little to do with the drug trade. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an adequate film for the most part but marred by a rather asinine ending. At least, that is my opinion. Be that as it may, all things considered I rate this movie as slightly below average.
Good Movie......But please Watch Sniper 1 and 2 first then watch this or you will not understand it....but also see parent's guide for Sniper 1......the movie rating is not that good because there some sniper shooting but not too much......also the Movie follows the same story again and again....but this is my view.....must watch if you like sniper shooting and also war movies lover can also watch....i haven't watched sniper 1 because.....parent's guide was not for my age so....when i am above 18 i will watch it......but please watch this movie......the movie have not too much good...story....but You will like it....as i did ........that's all....thnx
It was torture watching the movie. This was not in Vietnam, it was in Thailand. The "Vietnamese" actors were Thai. When the "Vietnamese" police told Beckett to put down the gun, they were speaking Thai, not Vietnamese. If you want to make a movie, make it genuine. I'm white myself but it's giving off the exact stereotype white people have on Asian people.This is what Cynthia Alvarenga from Burbank, California wrote:"I liked the casting choices. Of course Tom Berenger is the perfect actor but John Doman, Denis Arndt, William Duffy and especially Byron Mann were convincing in their characters. The Vietnamese cast and crew were phenomenal. I liked the very well-written story, no loose ends. All the information that was told in the story was used with it's conclusions. I like the location choices in Vietnam. I loved the music (WOW). There was a Southeast Asian theme but not over the top stereotypical. The music was hip and matched the screens of the movie. I like the cinematography. The lighting at the dock with Quan and the informant, spooky. Great job, really !!"Listen, Cynthia: take off your blind fold. This just shows how uneducated you are and your stereotype doesn't contribute anything to this world. You need to get a sense of what's a good movie and what's a bad movie because you are completely lost. I feel sorry for people like this lady.
Yet another bad movie that showcases Tom Berenger's awesome acting talents. I seriously feel so badly for this guy as he was one of the best film actors of the '90s, I mean this was the same guy who was in "Platoon" for crying out loud. He had some pretty classic bad-ass quotes in this as you can always usually expect at least one of them per film but sometimes you get blessed with a few. As average as this was it actually fared substantially well for a direct-to-video release since it was definitely well done in that regard. The action was okay, the best ones were when Beckett is behind the rifle though, as you probably could've guessed. I liked this but I still couldn't help but let out a silent prayer that TB gets one more big-budget movie deal before he's through with Hollywood because he's way too cool to let him slide into oblivion. Please think about it!Final Quarantine:Movies: Didn't quite make it there did it.?DVD Purchase: Only if you need to complete the trilogy.Rental: Got my money's worth and that's what counts.
