Sniper: Ghost Shooter

Definitely a B-movie in the action/war genre. Both the dialogue as written and as delivered are noticeable as contrived, showing how hard it is to actually have a film feel authentic. The story follows a JSOC sniper team (4 sniper/spotter pairs in a team) who travel around and do sniper stuff. In the current assignment, they are providing protection for some VIPs at a Georgian oil pipeline and the bad guys seem to know exactly where they are. The shooter has an idea about what is wrong, the officers don't believe him, send him to Siberia (literally) where he learns valuable lessons, comes back and saves the day as it turns out he was right. All pretty standard in terms of plot, and pretty plain in terms of execution. 

2 stars (out of 5)
