Tough guy Thomas Beckett is an US soldier working in the Panamanian jungle. His job is to seek out rebels and remove them using his sniper skills. Beckett is notorious for losing his partners on such missions. This time he's accompanied by crack marksman Richard Miller, who's more of an office-type. Together they plan to seek out an important rebel leader, whilst avoiding a rogue marksman who frequents this part of the jungle. (TriStar Pictures)

Dans la finale, Llosa a réussi à émouvoir, à créer la tension et à susciter la catharsis chez le spectateur lors de l'élimination des méchants. À l'époque de sa sortie, je l'aurais peut-être mieux noté. Mais aujourd'hui, Sniper, Tireur d'élite semble très terne, par moments ennuyeux, et surtout dominé par ses faiblesses de série B, auxquelles la musique artificielle de Chang ajoute encore plus de criardise. Les films Rambo avaient Sylvester, de l'élan et les motifs de Jerry Goldsmith. C'est seulement une pâle imitation. JEREMIE

Was it already possible to see slow-motion shots of bullets in 1993? That's something you don't see every day. And it really works for those lunatics. The jungle sniper story is somewhat run-of-the-mill, but the overall approach and the effort to come up with something new intrigued me. That's why I'm giving it a higher rating. Maybe someone will notice and agree with me.
