An American action-thriller. The fifth film in the Sniper film series. It follows two of the three recurring lead characters in the long running series: U. S. Marine Sgt Brandon Beckett, and Thomas Beckett, a former Mastery Gunnery Sgt of Force Reconnaissance Scout Snipers in United States Marine Corps. Having survived bloody conflict in Congo, Brandon Beckett has become a very skilled sniper in the Marine Corps, building up a reputation for himself as a promising young shooter. The story is about a rogue gunman who has been assassinating high-ranking military officers one by one. Brandon Beckett is informed that his father, Thomas Beckett has been killed. Brandon is denied by his commanding officer to join the team to search and destroy the perpetrator. This film is an enjoyable addition to the series, properly bridging the gap between the original film series and the rebooted film series. The production is still on a modest budget, but the technical aspects are interesting, giving the viewer an insight into the life of a modern elite sniper. However, the dialogue is clichéd and unoriginal - it doesn't provide enough exposition to the father-son "born to kill" topic. Berenger cuts the figure of a tired veteran, not the spry and sparky "one shot, one kill" man of the original film and he isn't given much on-screen time. Nevertheless, the film has some good action.
