Goofs

When they are talking to the Congolese army and explaining the difference in the firing and workings of the automatic rifle, the soldier takes the gun and shoots at a downed tree. When the camera pans from right to left behind him, the gun is pointing at the ground, yet bullets are hitting the tree in the distance.

User Reviews

Old wine in a new bottle

Other than usual melodrama sniper reloaded has nothing novel or exciting to offer. A pedestrian script with no gripping moments. The whole story was very predictable, with no unexpected plot twists or anything spectacular that will make it memorable. The movie is not completely worst its a good action packed entertainer with amusing cinematography in Africa. If you wanna lay back and watch an entertaining movie, this is probably one for you. However, if you are looking for a little more depth, pass on this one. It's not like you haven't seen this before,it was just okay, it has some good action, but over all not that great of a movie.The sexual relationship between the Lieutenant and Sergeant was completely unnecessary, made even sillier by the fact that she's one of the officers on the disciplinary review board. Conclusion: A mediocre action flick that had the common decency not to insult us too much.
