Storyline
A Special Ops Military Force, led by Sergeant Vic Mosby (Tim Abell) with an expert sniper Sergeant Jake Chandler (Steven Seagal) as "Over Watch" during a special mission are sent to a remote Afghan village to extract an American Congressman being held by the Taliban. The rescue mission is a success, but Jake, separated after a firefight with the enemy, stays behind to help an injured soldier. Sergeant Vic Mosby desperately tries to convince Lieutenant Colonel Jackson (Dale Dye) to let him go back and save the soldiers, but is ordered on a mission to retrieve a truckload of munitions which could be vital for the military base. In direct violation of orders, Vic and his Special Ops Team decide to head back to the village to rescue the stranded soldiers. Outnumbered and out gunned, Vic and his men engage in a massive shootout against the enemy, while Jake uses his expert skills to help save them all from certain death.
Sniper: Special Ops Movie Reviews
Fred Olen Ray's 'Sniper: Special Ops' is an Average fare at best. It lacks sharpness & also the tension one would associate with a film based on Snipers on a war-zone.
Sniper: Special Ops' Synopsis: A Special Ops military Force are sent to a remote Afghan village to extract an American congressman being held by the Taliban.
'Sniper: Special Ops' needed better Writing. Olen Ray's Writing begins very well, but loses steam mid-way. And as I mentioned before, the tension & sharpness is missing here. Olen Ray's Direction, on the other-hand, is passable.
Performance-Wise: Steven Seagal is relegated to the backseat. Rob Van Dam does a fair job. Tim Abell is the pick of the lot. He's very sincere. Others lend the required support.
On the whole, 'Sniper: Special Ops' is just about okay.
