Yup, I absolutely loved this. It's nimble, humorous, fast-paced. The acting is just fine, no worse than any big-name "Hollywood" movie actors. There are a lot of actors in this (and Canadian, to boot!) who are established and know their stuff.
I was expecting to put in an hour-and-a-half of mindless, badly-acted macho nonsense. That was okay, I was just looking for a time-waster.
I was pleasantly surprised with this movie.
First, the humour. That was unexpected, and made this quite a lot of fun.
Secondly, there was really no alpha male posturing, which was such a relief. Kinda like, these guys are so good they don't need to be testosterone-laden dummies. The female actors, ditto. Breath of fresh air, gotta say.
*Love* the nerd. So great to see Dennish Haysbert as a good guy.
The soundtrack was a teeny bit annoying at the beginning, but along the way the song and incidental music choices had me looking for soundtrack info.
I'm encouraged that the ending suggests a sequel to this one. I'd go watch a sequel to this gang of characters. The other Sniper movies, not so much.
There are a couple of nice plot twists.
Tight, well-written script, really smart directing. He's a newbie, hope he does well.
I like that it's a largely Canadian cast, filmed in Canada. All-round good movie.
