Sniper: The Last Stand is the 11th installment of the Sniper franchise from 1993. Other sequels include Sniper: Rogue Mission and the latest entry G.R.I.T - Global Response & Intelligence Team. At this point with other movie franchises, it seems like they are grasping at straws trying to hold onto their former glory days. The question is, does this film have any worthwhile substance?

The opening of the movie has an a 10-minute clip of a montage called Operation Phoenix, where Ryker Kovalov, an arms dealer played by Arnold Vonsolo from The Mummy and Condor’s Nest, is shown being tracked a few miles towards his base located in the jungle of Costa Verde. The Kovalov character also features a doomsday device that he activates as a failsafe.

The movie later cuts to 48 hours before, with Chad Michael Collins playing Brandon Beckett in Dead Zone and Legion of The Dead, who is shown telling the story of arriving at an abandoned airstrip in Costa Verde, narrating that he somehow managed to take 6 planes over ‘the last 36 hours’ claiming he is so ‘out of it’ that he doesn’t even realize which country he is in.

Colonel Modise radios him as the first preparatory step towards easing him into the new responsibilities. (Vusi Kunene portrayed Modise in A Reasonable Man and House of Zwide). The remaining cast includes returning character Zero (Ryan Robbins; Scorched Earth, Philadelphia Experiment), Angel (Noxolo Dlamini, Death of a Whistleblower and Silverton Siege), Hilo Scott George, Hera Guide and Sharon Taylor (Emily and Stargate: Atlantis) aka The Axe Twins because of the twin arms they are known to use. Zondi Sizo Mahlangu (The Red Sea Diving Resort, Warrior) portrays the sniper for whom this would be the first assignment.

Now the target Kovalov has descended further into the jungle together with his weapon's designer Maxxim (Rob Van Vuuren; Slumber Party Massacre, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom) who appears to be building some kind of super weapon. So the first and only goal is to return alive, although if business is called for some people are to be removed forcibly and permanently.

The recap flashback montage created by Wathen contains the conventional openings along with the training montages of Beckett and Zondi. This is collectively done under the supervision of Danishka Esterhazy with Level 16, Killer Body Count. One notable aspect is how the narrative shifts from the team embarking to the aftermath of the prologue explosion—the narrative leap from the clichéd jungle trekking to add a darkly morbid twist.

I presume that the focus of the film is on an Alamo-style standoff with the Prime Minister’s corrupt personal militia for the last half of the film. Not to mention the overlooked decision enhances the growing tension along with the rather audacious choices regarding the deaths in the film. Given the rather ominous title, Sniper: The Last Stand, I found it nearly impossible to picture an outcome until the credits rolled.

Based on how cherished the franchise is, it seems Sony put in a greater effort into this movie compared to their other direct-to-streaming titles. The film oversupplies most of its battle scenes with extras and at least managed some practical explosions. Well, explosions courtesy of CGI. But unlike other movies where a handful of dressed-up stuntmen were passed off as an overwhelming horde, this is much better.

Furthermore, ‘Sniper: The Last Stand Watch Free Here Hurawatch’ is famous for having above-average scripts and direction. For this specific case, to be concerned about his work was amusing, was entertaining, yet felt too much. Regardless, Esterhazy and Wathen are not coming from an action film background; they both come from the world of horror films.

Colleagues, my worries were unfounded. The former part of the movie has the dialogues with every single action sequence embellished with strange nonsensical vocabulary, while the latter part has the “action” half, which, just as I expected, is exquisite.

Hera's fight with some of her foes who wield futuristic machetes is mind-blowing along with the work done by cinematographer Trevor Calverley (Slay, Lake Placid: Legacy).

The other members of the cast, aside from the principal actors, are seldom recognized outside of South Africa, which is a shame because, in my opinion, many performances in internationally produced films were far better than this one. Among the leads, Vosloo was the notable one and his performance was very memorable(with his delightfully overexaggerated portrayal) so it was incredible disappointing that he died so early because he was left solo to face dull, boring faceless militia antagonists.

In any case, I have to tell you that Sniper: The Last Stand is a remarkable addition to the franchise. It is not as an independent action film, and just like the others, is self-sufficient, meaning you don’t need to watch the previous installments to appreciate this one.
