Editorial Review:

Tom Berenger and Billy Zane head the cast in this silly action film about a tough Marine and an Olympics marksman who team up in the Panamanian jungle to take out a rebel leader and the drug kingpin financing him. Berenger's done this switched-off soul bit before, but Zane doesn't seem quite ready for his part. In any case, the acting doesn't matter as much to director Luis Llosa as fancy camerawork to give viewers the sense of a bullet hurling along its trajectory. --Tom Keogh

A movie that would not have been out of place in the run of paranoid-political thrillers of the 1970s, Shooter works an entertaining variation on the assassination picture. Mark Wahlberg, carrying over good mojo from The Departed, slides neatly into the character of Bob Lee Swagger, master marksman. Swagger has retreated from his duty as an off-the-books hired gun for the military, having become disillusioned with his government (switching on his TV at his remote mountain cabin, he mutters, "Let's see what kind of lies they're trying to sell us today."). Ah, but the government needs Swagger to scope out the location of a rumored attempt on the life of the president, so a shadowy government operative (Danny Glover) begs Swagger to use his sniper's skills to out-fox the assassin. From there--well, spoilers are not fair, since the movie has a few legitimate shocks and a very nice wrong-man scenario about to unfold.

A novel by the Washington Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic Stephen Hunter gives the movie a logical spine, even if the premise itself is the stuff of conspiracy theorists. Wahlberg gets support from Michael Pena, as a skeptical FBI agent; Kate Mara, as a trustworthy widow; and Ned Beatty, trailing along memories of Network, as a supremely cynical Senator. Along with the well-executed action sequences (the previously unreliable director Antoine Fuqua gets it in gear here), the movie includes a few potshots at the Bush administration. No, that doesn't put Shooter at the level of The Parallax View or All the President's Men, but it provides some tang along with the flying bullets. --Robert Horton

Like Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the Gates opens with a pivotal event of World War II--the German invasion of Stalingrad--re-created in epic scale, as ill-trained Russian soldiers face German attack or punitive execution if they flee from the enemy's advance. Director Jean-Jacques Annaud captures this madness with urgent authenticity, creating a massive context for a more intimate battle waged amid the city's ruins. Embellished from its basis in fact, the story shifts to an intense cat-and-mouse game between a Russian shepherd raised to iconic fame and a German marksman whose skill is unmatched in its lethal precision. Vassily Zaitzev (Jude Law) has been sniping Nazis one bullet at a time, while the German Major Konig (Ed Harris) has been assigned to kill Vassily and spare Hitler from further embarrassment.

There's love in war as Vassily connects with a woman soldier (Rachel Weisz), but she is also loved by Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), the Soviet officer who promotes his friend Vassily as Russia's much-needed hero. This romantic rivalry lends marginal interest to the central plot, but it's not enough to make this a classic war film. Instead it's a taut, well-made suspense thriller isolated within an epic battle, and although Annaud and cowriter Alain Godard (drawing from William Craig's book and David L. Robbins's novel The War of the Rats) fail to connect the parallel plots with any lasting impact, the production is never less than impressive. Highly conventional but handled with intelligence and superior craftsmanship, this is warfare as strategic entertainment, without compromising warfare as a manmade hell on Earth. --Jeff Shannon

Cat and Mouse.......2007-05-10

Set during the fall of Stalingrad in World War two, "Enemy at the Gates" focuses on Vassili Zaitsev, a poor soldier who has a gift for sharp shooting. That gift comes to the attention of Commisar Danilov, who sees Zaitsev as a political propaganda coup for an ailing Russian military. The Germans call in a sniper of their own, a Major Konig, to deal with this sniper who is growing in fame.

The tension is thick in this movie, as the two snipers stalk each other. However, around them is the maelstrom of the Battle of Stalingrad. The stark realities of the Russian army are very realistic, with soldiers sharing a single weapon, living in horrid conditions, and suffering badly.

The attempts of the political officers to exploit Zaitsev for their own goals are also highlighted. Their sometimes cynical use of people to advance the glory of the Motherland is sometimes horrible to contemplate and view.

The movie is earthy and real, and the acting is excellent. Jude Law is great in the lead roll. I was very impressed with the cast of the movie.

Not an action filled gore-fest like We Were Soldiers (Widescreen Edition), it is certainly realistic in its depictions. It is a good movie with lots of tense moments. I enjoyed this movie a lot.

not bad but not as good as the original novel.......2007-04-27

david robbins' original novel is a very enjoyable reading experience. he vividly painted a desperate russian picture in wwll, the siege of stalingrad, the duel between two great snipers. jude law and ed harris both did great jobs in this movie. the good thing of this movie is that the ideological part was lightly touched to avoid possibility of boredom. the battle scenes were nicely and vividly arranged and carried out. the russian political officer with a horsey face was the only weak actor resulted in bad casting.

A classic war movie!.......2007-04-03

I love WWII movies. This one is a modern classic. Don't miss it!

A Battle that was won by other means.......2007-03-25

[...]I watched the movie on TV recently without knowing beforehand whether the actual figures and plot were real or fictional.

The three central characters, two of whom at least were apparently real, make up the eternal triangle. The Russian sniper is the hero ( he was taught to shoot very accurately by his wolf-hunting grandfather: "put snow in your mouth so the wolf won't see your breath). He is made a hero by his would-be rival, the lovelorn Jewish Communist Party Commissar in charge of battle site propaganda. They are both in love with the lovely Jewish Soviet infantry heroine who plans to go and farm in Palestine if she survives the war.

The filmmakers, bending the truth, have made the sharp shooting activities of the particular hero a critical part of the whole Battle of Stalingrad. If the hero gets killed it will be a national tragedy, if not a disaster, For the Germans, if their sharpshooter is killed, who is shipped in from Berlin in a Pullman train specifically to wipe out the hero, it will be a humiliation. so much so the Nazi Major is told by General Paulus to remove his dog tags in case he falls. If you believe the film plot the duelling was apparently set up on purpose as part of the commissar's propaganda (I don't know if Danilov the commissar is real or fictional). Such a duel did take place but was probably not central to the Battle of Stalingrad (which was won in 1943 when the Russians surrounded the Germans who found themselves enclosed in the city and forced the whole army to surrender including the General). The victory is celebrated near the end of the film but it does not explain how the it came about, though no doubt the dogged resistance inside the city was very important.

The war action -particularly in the first half hour of the movie - is very graphic and exciting and more realistic than most war films. The romantic line , apparently real, between hero and heroine adds tone to what would otherwise be just another bang-bang movie for 100 minutes. I believe there is even a computer game based on the film that concentrates on the shooting gallery aspect. The film makers do successfully, if not entirely completely, put the Battle of Stalingrad in its perspective as arguably the turning in point in the European theatre of World War II, that drained Hitler's forces. But they do not explain that without the Russian victory at Stalingrad in 1943 the allied invasion of Normandy would have been impossible in 1944 and World War II would have been prolonged (assuming that America would have hesitated to us the atomic bomb it developed in 1945 against Europeans).

The action part of the movie is mainly focused on the Russian sharpshooter's duel with the elegant German sniper sent to cut him down. Action narrows from the opening mass battle scenes to a handful of Russian sharp shooters, who fall one by one to the cunning German ace and ends up with a one-on-one Western type gun duel. The sense of war is hell pervades the atmosphere of a ruined city in which fighting is from building to building. The Germans appear to have an air advantage and an ability to drop bombs with devastating impact but their tanks, confined by narrow alleys amid the ruins are not much help. I recently saw actual footage of the Battle in a German documentary on TV and the fountain featured early in the film also appears as it really was though not piled high with dead bodies. Not being a World War II expert I cannot quibble with the many minor historical mistakes that have been identified by purists but even if I were aware of them when I viewed the film it wouldn't have made much difference to my enjoyment. The cast all round is superb, especially the principal characters. My only complaint is the Hollywood type ending. The temporarily separated lovers meet in hospital before the final fade out In real life they both assumed each other were dead and didn't find the truth for many year afterwards. That would have been , in my opinion, a better ending than the fictional one contrived for no good reason by the filmmakers.Isn't it enough that both survived? Surely the assumption that American box offices need happy endings (if that was the reason for a dumb they lived happily ever after ending) is outdated?

An Engrossing Story of Two Man Hunters: Deserves More Credit Than it Receives.......2007-03-14

For what it's worth, this film deserves more credit than it is frequently given. I think that most criticisms of the film stem from the reviewers entering the film with certain preconceived notions about how what the film was going to be, only to be let down. I don't blame the reviewers entirely. ENEMY AT THE GATES is a little unsure of what it wants to become. Should we make a film that accurately captures the battle of Stalingrad? Should we, instead, focus on the wonderful story of these two rival snipers? Or should we try and communicate an even more personal story about love and the evils of war? Unfortunately, ENEMY AT THE GATES tries to accomplish all three and, if judged by any single standard, ultimately fails.

Let me take them in turn. ENEMY AT THE GATES begins in a manner quite reminiscent of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. After a quick character development scene in which we see our young protagonist being taught how to stalk and snipe a wolf, we suddenly see him thrust amongst the Red Army, railed off to the shores of the Volga River, and thrown into the midst of a German siege. The opening is spectacular and moving. Thousands of Russian soldiers are being ferried across the Volga while German dive bombers and artillery decimate their numbers. As if that isn't bad enough, those wise enough to try and flee the fight are mercilessly gunned down by their own Russian commanders. While some have criticized this movie for historical accuracy, such things did occur. And just in case you think I'm trying to demonize the Russian commanders, ENEMY AT THE GATES provides these men with plenty of motivation. They are the ones who must answer to the high command, who demand victory at all costs. What would we do? Of course, this film is not perfectly historically accurate. From this point on, we do not get much story about the battle for Stalingrad. The ending of the film leaves the outcome of this battle completely mysterious. If you came looking for a movie purely about the battle and the Russian front, you came to the wrong place. While I think that the action scenes are skillfully handled, this is obviously not where the film's interest lies.

What is the interest? It is about the incredible struggle, based on true events, that occurred during the battle. For while both armies attack each other brutally, two men endlessly hunt each other, putting each other's skill to the ultimate test. Our protagonist, Vassili Zaitsev (Jude Law), plays a Russian peasant who was taught by his grandfather how to shoot. An expert marksmen and natural talent, Zaitsev stalks the German army, proving his skill time and time again. Thanks to his friend Commisar Danilov (Joseph Fiennes), a political officer in charge of the military press, Zaitsev soon becomes an iconic hero of the Russian army--a symbol of communist dominance over fascist Germany. Germany begins to take notice and sends out their best sniper to hunt the young Russian down. Killing him would deal a symbolic death blow to Russia. Germany's marksmen is Major König (Ed Harris), an aristocratic deer hunter and the instructor at the sniper school in Berlin. As soon as König enters the picture, ENEMY AT THE GATES takes a dramatic turn. Suddenly, the film is about the rivalry of these two men. For me, this is the most interesting storyline in the film. Both Ed Harris and Jude Law have an intensity about them, often communicated only by turning the camera on their eyes, that is perfect for the silent nature of the sniping scenes. I could have watched a whole movie dedicated to only these two marksmen. The sniping scenes are expertly handled, the background sets of war-torn Stalingrad are amazingly detailed and completely set the tone, and the tension and suspense of these scenes is high.

But, alas, ENEMY AT THE GATES does not simply decide to abandon an accurate portrayal of the battle for Stalingrad for a more focused piece on these two snipers. Instead, an infamous "love triangle" is introduced to the film to stir things up. I say "infamous" only because it seems to have ruined everyone's day if you read the reviews on this site. While I would agree that this "love triangle" is not the most interesting part of the film, I do think that it has some merit. For one thing, it provides Zeitsev with motivation towards the end of the film. In the beginning, he seems to have nothing to lose, fully aware that each day may be his last. He is fearless in his struggle against the Germans. But as he begins to fall in love with Tania Chernova (Rachel Weisz), suddenly he has something to lose. Furthermore, his love provides him ultimately with the confidence and determination to put an end to König, who has been seemingly invincible up until that point.

The really interesting question, I think, is why not just have a love interest? Why involve a love triangle with Commisar Danilov? Here, I think that the film shines, at least in conception if not in execution. The love triangle provides Commisar Danilov with his ever-increasing menace towards Zaitsev. It makes him abuse his power and become the kind of evil man he once feared. This, in turn, only heightens our love of the protagonist, as his natural goodness is depicted side-by-side with the evil of his friend. One thing that kept occurring to me as I watched this film was the question: Who is the bad guy? Is it the Germans? Is it Major König? Is it Danilov when he becomes enraged at his unrequited love for Tania? Is it Kruschev? Is it the Russian generals who shoot their own troops? It's hard to say! All that we know is that Vassili is good. Perhaps the filmmakers didn't want to glorify the Russians? The truth is that no one ends up very good in this film, besides our two lovers. War seems to bring out the worst in everyone, even Danilov. Perhaps that is what ENEMY AT THE GATES is trying to strive for with its inclusion of the love triangle. War is evil. And humans are only pawns in the game.

Ultimately, I enjoyed ENEMY AT THE GATES. In fact, I enjoyed it more the second time I watched it. You cannot really knock it for not being an accurate portrayal of the battle of Stalingrad. It is focused on two men in the middle of that battle. Every film must explore life's events through the eyes of a few characters. That's where the interest lies! Anything else would just be a third-person perspective on explosions and gunfire. While I wish the film could have focused even more on the sniping angle than it does, I believe it to be a respectable war film and one that is quite interesting.

Based on Anthony Swofford's excellent memoir about his experiences as a Marine Sniper in Gulf War I, Jarhead is a war movie in which the waiting is a far greater factor upon the characters than the war itself, and the build up to combat is more drama than what combat is depicted. To some viewers hoping for typical movie action, this will seem like a cruel joke. But it's not. It's just the story as it was written, and if you liked the book, you will probably like the movie. If you didn't, then the movie won't change your mind.

The movie follows the trajectory of Swofford (played with thoughtful intensity by Jake Gyllenhaal) from wayward Marine recruit (he joined because he "got lost on the way to college") to skilled Marine sniper, and on into the desert in preparation for the attack on Iraq. No-nonsense, Marine-for-life Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx), the man who recruited Swofford and his spotter Troy (Peter Sarsgaard) into the sniper team, leads them in training, and in waiting where their lives are dominated by endless tension, pointless exercises in absurdity (like playing football in the scorching heat of the desert in their gas masks so it will look better for the media's TV cameras), more training, and constant anticipation of the moment to come when they'll finally get to kill. When the war does come, it moves too fast for Swofford's sniper team, and the one chance they get at a kill--to do the one thing they've trained so hard and waited so long for--eludes them, leaving them to wonder what was the point of all they had endured.

As directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty), the movie remains very loyal to the language and vision of the book, but it doesn't entirely work as the film needs something more than a literal translation to bring out its full potential. Mendes's stark and, at times, apocalyptic visuals add a lot and strike the right tone: wide shots of inky-black oil raining down on the vast, empty desert from flaming oil wells contrasted with close-ups of crude-soaked faces struggling through the mire vividly bring to life the meaning of the tagline "welcome to the suck." But much of the second half of the movie will probably leave some viewers feeling disappointed in the cinematic experience, while others might appreciate its microcosmic depiction of modern chaos and aimlessness. Jarhead is one of those examples where the book is better than the movie, but not for lack of trying. --Dan Vancini

Description

Academy Award winner Jamie Foxx and Jake Gyllenhaal star in this critically acclaimed, brilliantly unconventional war story from Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes.

Jarhead (the self-imposed moniker of the Marines) follows Swoff (Gyllenhaal) from a sobering stint in boot camp to active duty, where he sports a sniper rifle through Middle East deserts that provide no cover from the heat or Iraqi soldiers. Swoff and his fellow Marines sustain themselves with sardonic humanity and wicked comedy on blazing desert fields in a country they don't understand against an enemy they can't see for a cause they don't fully grasp.

War is a bore.......2007-06-21

Anthony "Swoff" Swofford served in Gulf War One, and then came home to write about it. His gripping book, "Jarhead: A Marine's Chronicle of the Gulf War and Other Battles," was quickly optioned to be a movie. Where the book captures the fleeting explosions of adrenaline that briefly hits you between countless days of tedium, the film version really loads up the tedium.

Really, this uninspiring true-life take on being a soldier may be the most honest take on war ever filmed. There are no heroics. No moments of raging brilliance to stop an enemy. Just hot sweaty men in a desert, scared as hell and maybe bored beyond it. What that translates to is tedious viewing. War is the long stretches of nothing between battles, and these long stretches from the majority of "Jarhead." If you're looking for "Saving Private Ryan," "Platoon" or even "The Boys of Company C," you're not getting any of that here. "Swoff" spends his entire stay in Desert Shield to Desert Storm wondering when he will finally get the chance to use his elite sniper training to make his first kill. The kill that never comes.

"Jarhead" comes closest to mimicking the superior "Full Metal Jacket," in that the drollness of Swofford matches Private Joker in Kubrick's film. But "Jarhead" has no payoff. Theirs is a place where no point of view ever happens...what politics there are in the movie will come strictly from your own point of view. But the film itself is visually stunning, I doubt if the scene where oil rains down on Swoff's unit in the night, the desert lit only from flaming oil wells will easily be forgotten, or the horrific "highways of death" recreation. (Google that reference for the background.) Jake Gyllenhaal gives an eerie performance, the emotions bubbling under his facade. (Almost as good as his turn in "Brokeback Mountain.")

But again, I return to the movie's pace and subject matter. It really is too slow and random to be truly entertaining, and yet its lack of any real point of view makes it hard to really dig into the charachters here. Just like Swofford, you spend the duration of "Jarhead" waiting for the time when you finally see some action. The "I am always going to be a Jarhead" ending makes you wish for a deeper explanation as to why.

Great scenes, so-so movie........2007-06-04

What can you say about a movie that has so many fine ingredients? This is all the hallmarks of a great movie - great director, terrific acting, epic cinematography, relevant message. And yet without a real narrative to hang on, this is a movie about the atmosphere - in particular, the cumulative effect of atmosphere. It will depend on the viewer if that atmosphere is enough to sustain interest.
Jake Gyllenhaal is terrifically convincing as the naïve young `average young man' who joins up instead of going to college. His journey is the lynchpin of the movie, and he makes it work. He starts off in the usual drill sergeant shouting at recruits type scenes, and finally gets to the Gulf. There, the movie is about the waiting. The boredom and frustration of being built up to act, and then sit on their heels unable to act.. Problem is, in convincingly conveying the boredom and frustration of the men, the viewer is equally bored and frustrated. The war starts, and yet the frustration is never truly released for the group of marines, and in the final scenes the end is somewhat bleak to say the least. The cream of the most macho soldiers are made to look impotent.
This is a timely look at what some of the pressures must have been like - there are probably also parallels to be made with today's conflict, even though the situation is quite different. As the lead says towards the end - Every war is different - and every war is the same.
So is this enough to spend your two hours on the couch..? The answer is probably only just - there was more that could have been made of these memoirs. But accepting its flaws, its probably still interesting enough to get through - just not if you are an action junkie!

A $1 rental.......2007-05-22

I wish I had watched it before I bought it. In that it is fairly realistic so I'm told by guys who were there it dull and boring and mostly pointless. If you are looking for action go some where else.

No reason for this movie.......2007-05-16

While not a Marine veteran, I am a Gulf War veteran. And I found very little redeeming about this movie. There are only two elements of this film that were worth bringing to an international audience.

1) The "Dear John" letter board. For whatever reason, especially confusing given the shortness of this war, there seemed to be a disproportionate number of breakups and divorces among Desert Storm participants. Perhaps it just seemed that way from the inside, or because suddenly women were everywhere in a combat-zone for the first-time making it easier for soldiers to cheat (not a knock against female soldiers) or because without a draft there were so many eligible young men still left back in the states to cause trouble there. Whatever the reason, even this important statement in Jarhead was as poorly underdone as a Herfy goat burger (inside joke).

2) The other important element shown in this film was the frustration of waiting. Sitting in the desert and keyed up for 5 months with no proper outlet or release. Again, they missed their cue there. I do not believe for a second that a Marine NCO would allow his recon unit on the edge of a battlefield to behave in such an undisciplined and coarse manner. Especially in front of civilians and worse, reporters. This stinks a little bit to much of the early stages of Heartbreak Ridge before the Gunny shows up.

The main character/author is nothing short of a crybaby wimp. His is not a personality that can be suppressed throughout Boot Camp, AIT, and TIS. He should have never been in a warzone because he should never have been allowed to be a Marine. The closest this guy should have gotten to the military is by working for the Air Force MWR (another inside joke).

I see this movie as an insult to the Corps and the military at large. Its timing was very suspect. Its time of filming and release was during the early stages of Operation Iraqi Freedom, a war that is depicted by liberal Hollywood and the media as being very unpopular. Touted and sold as a patriotic celebration of our military, its really just another example of how the left "supports our troops" but cutting their feet out from under them.

By some lucky quirk of fate, Phone Booth landed on Hollywood's A-list, but this thriller should've been a straight-to-video potboiler directed by its screenwriter, veteran schlockmeister Larry Cohen, who's riffing on his own 1976 thriller God Told Me To. Instead it's a pointless reunion for fast-rising star Colin Farrell and his Tigerland director, Joel Schumacher, who employs a multiple-image technique similar to TV's 24 to energize Cohen's pulpy plot about an unseen sniper (maliciously voiced by 24's Kiefer Sutherland) who pins his chosen victim (a philandering celebrity publicist played by Farrell) in a Manhattan phone booth, threatening murder if Farrell doesn't confess his sins (including a potential mistress played by Katie Holmes in a thankless role). In a role originally slated for Jim Carrey, Farrell brings vulnerable intensity to his predicament, but Cohen's irresistible premise is too thin for even 81 brisk minutes, which is how long Schumacher takes to reach his morally repugnant conclusion. --Jeff Shannon

Description

A single phone call can change a man's life…or possibly end it. Colin Farrell delivers a captivating, off-the-hook performance as Stu Shepard, a self-centered New York City publicist who suddenly finds himself on the deadly end of a high-powered rifle scope. Now it's a real-time race against the clock as Stu must outwit a psychotic sniper in a frantic scramble from phone booth to freedom. Directed by Joel Schumacher, this groundbreaking "tightly-made thriller" (Sidekick Magazine) co-stars Forest Whitaker, Katie Holmes, and Kiefer Sutherland as the crazed gunman calling the shots, literally.

PHONE BOOTH Blu-ray is packed the way HD movies should come. It's loaded with MPEG2@26MBPS video, which means that everything on the screen looks simply incredible. The colors are vibrant and the images are sharp and clear. At this point in time, picture quality really doesn't get any better.

The audio portion of the disc was treated in the same fashion. The soundtrack as well as the special effects noises were crystal clear and come through a surround sound system gloriously.

Unfortunately, high-tech doesn't improve the movie. It's still a good watch with plenty of tension, but not enough of the story is given. Colin Farrell and Forest Whitaker are the only two given the chance to really act. An argument can be made for Kiefer Sutherland's voice-over work, but he was missing in action when it came to being on-stage. Also, other than the commentary, there were no extras or behind-the-scenes pieces.

But it's top of the line for people looking for the true experience of an HD disc for their home entertainment systems.

When you're caught in the tactical scope of a 30-caliber bolt action rifle, you most likely tend to pay close attention to what the triggerman is saying. Stu Shepard (Colin Farrell) is stuck in that predicament. He's trapped in a New York City phonebooth, desperately trading wits with a psychotic caller.
Stu is at the madman's mercy as his life's choices are being picked apart. The majority of this movie takes place in this phonebooth. This confiscating setting really pushes the tension to new heights. Stu slowly unravels as he's forced to look deep within himself.
This cantankerous exchange feels like an old western shootout. The only problem is, Stu is firing blanks.
Phonebooth is so well orchestrated, it makes you dismiss the improbability of certain pieces of the story. This really is an intense psychological thriller, and Colin Farrell turns in a his best performance ever. I also like the fact that the director, Joel Schumacher, kept this film short(81 min). Anything more might have been redundant for this story.

good idea, bad movie.......2007-03-01

I thought the idea of Phone Booth was great, but the movie is just bad. Maybe Hitchcock or Welles could have pulled it off, but this is just plain sad. Skip it.

interesting idea.......2007-02-22

This film had a very unique plot that would either work well or not at all. It actually did. the whole story revolves arould a phone booth andthe hero is not you typical one. More of an anti-hero with vices but you end up feeling sympathy for him. The directing and casting we good and all in alll a good movie to watch

Interesting .......2007-02-13

Larry Cohen's flick Phone Booth is an interesting, not to mention unusual, piece of work. It plays like a vulgar movie length episode of the Twilight Zone. Colin Farrell turns in the performance of his life as the sleazy PR guy. On the other hand, Kiefer Sutherland fails to be a menacing enough phone caller and that dampens the fear factor in this flick.

Given the profound lack of originality in Hollywood, any time a half way original movie such as Phone Booth comes our way, you simply have to at least consider giving it a try.

That athletic phenom of a retriever is back for his fourth movie, trying his paw at baseball this time. Disney hasn't strayed far from the franchise formula, siccing upon the poor retriever yet another set of doggie thieves--this time mad scientists who want to capture Buddy and his pups to isolate the "Super Sports Gene." The original Josh (heartthrob Kevin Zegers) is also back, only to be dispatched to college soon after the opening credits. So it's younger sister Andrea (Caitlin Wachs) who needs Buddy's help this time, as she muffs her baseball debut and suffers the benign neglect of her parents (Cynthia Stevenson and Richard Karn). As with its predecessors, this is harmless, if inane, fun. Kids and dogs are heroes; adults are mostly benevolent screw-ups. Raccoons and scientists may take issue with their portrayals, but, then again, how many scientists operate their labs out of trailer parks? Ages 4 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Description

Air Bud knocks one out of the park when he takes up baseball in this all-new fun and heartwarming Disney adventure! This time, Buddy joins in and shows that he's a natural baseball player with major league talent. In the middle of the season, however, a terrible discovery is made: Buddy's now-grown puppies have mysteriously begun to disappear from their new homes! Now it's up to Buddy to stop the dog-nappings and find his pups before it's too late!

This is a very cute family movie, especially if you have Goldens and kids or grandkids!

Solid family movie.......2006-10-03

Sure there are a million air bud movies, but this is nice family entertainment. Simple, direct story that young children can follow
and root for the air bud family. Emphasis on point of view of children
and a family that can say "I love you" to each other. Minimizes "evil
bad guy" angle so as not to be a distraction as in so many other movies.
Good for 1rst and 2nd graders.

Not Shabby........2006-02-22

This movie is okay but I'm not too interested in it. The first and second Air bud movies were the best to me. This movie couldn't make me laugh so I sticked to the first two Air bud movies.

You have got to be kidding me, right?.......2005-10-24

Any movie that only manages to get 12 people to scribble down a few thoughts is one that you are probably better leaving on the store's shelf. Those who did manage to write a review are eager to tell you that AIR BUD - SEVENTH INNING FETCH is one of the best of the "Air Bud" sequels. Well...let me tell you, folks: that's not saying much. This movie is pure trash. It was probably filmed in three days and merely churned out in order to get kids to drag their parents to one more "Air Bud" movie.

Let's hope that Bud is on his way out. After all, there aren't a lot of sports left to play. But somehow I get the eery feeling that I'm going to be taking my kids to the 50th sequel: AIR BUD - CANINE CURLING or, better yet, AIR BUD - BOBSLED BARK. Come on , folks. Do us a favor and let's put this franchise to sleep.

Tom Berenger and Billy Zane head the cast in this silly action film about a tough Marine and an Olympics marksman who team up in the Panamanian jungle to take out a rebel leader and the drug kingpin financing him. Berenger's done this switched-off soul bit before, but Zane doesn't seem quite ready for his part. In any case, the acting doesn't matter as much to director Luis Llosa as fancy camerawork to give viewers the sense of a bullet hurling along its trajectory. --Tom Keogh

Underrated movie - small budget but still interesting........2007-05-28

I liked this movie for no other reason than the fact that it is small budget but still is effective in discussing the profession of a sniper. The movie has many rough edges as far as acting, accuracy and story line go, but it does convey the essence of being a sniper. For a small production, this movie is quite watchable.

Want excitement want a thriller whatch this one very good directing and great acting will keep youre stomach and mind nervous as you wonder what the next move might be.

One of the best Tom Berenger movies since Platoon. The next sniper movies didn't even come close. Billy Zane acts well in this movie compared to others.

no title.......2006-02-12

Kind've your basic male-bonding movie, set in Panama's jungles. Tom Beringer still has this lost soul quality about him that sucks me in. Very good suspense, but predictable Hollywood ending.

Very Good.......2005-09-12

This was very good. Yes, some parts were not realistic and some were taking "artistic license" with the facts, but it was still pretty good. One of the psychological twists was good and the kind that probably happens a lot. It came out in 1993, so it has some age, but it looks good. At least they kept it short -- unlike today when a 100min movie becomes a 300min movie with an intermission.

Sniper II: a glaring technical error about rifles........2007-03-24

I felt sorry for Tom Beringer as I watched Sniper II. At one point his character, Beckett, starts praising the military rifle he's just been handed as a substitute for his customary precision rifle that he's just lost. Beckett explains the various virtues of the Model 98 Mauser. He states that things could be a lot worse than to be handed a German Mauser, examining the rifle in his hands.

But wait...the rifle in his hands is not a Mauser. Beckett, our skilled old-school sniper and presumed military rifle expert, is holding a Mosin Nagant. It's probably Russian, most likely a Model 91/30. You can tell the difference from 10 or 20 feet away: the 98 Mauser has an internal magazine that's hidden inside the stock, and the Mosin Nagant has an external magazine that sticks out almost 2 inches from the stock and is about 5 inches long, right in front of the trigger guard. For an old-school sniper, steeped in the knowledge of bolt action rifles, to misidentify that rifle would be unthinkable.

The Mauser is an 8 mm, the Mosin Nagant uses 7.62 X 54R, and the 8mm ammo wouldn't even come close to chambering in the Mosin Nagant. As I watched the movie from that point on, I could almost imagine that Beringer, who strikes me as thoughtful and complex, knew the script he had to work from was bogus. It almost seemed like he went through the motions as a wry statement about just how miserable his life as an actor could be, as though he was telling us "Just look at the garbage I have to put up with."

Maybe the worst part of this technical error is that the Mosin Nagant is about twice as accurate as the Mauser, if you compare off-the-rack service rifles in good condition, firing standard issue ball ammo, like the rifle Beckett had in his hands. Therefore, a sniper like Beckett would have not only known about that difference, but he'd also be happy and smiling, commenting on the fabled accuracy of the Mosin Nagant, praising the brilliant spring and follower mechanism in the Mosin Nagant's magazine, and complaining about the awkward bolt handle, protruding sideways, that everybody complains about. Only Mosin Nagant sniper rifles have a turned-down bolt, and that isn't what Beckett had in his hands. There are scenes where he's hunched down behind this rifle, and it's obviously a Mosin Nagant front sight and muzzle configuration, not that of a Mauser.

Sorry, people, but it's a mistake the character Beckett would never have made. It's also a mistake about rifles that a "Sniper movie" shouldn't have made.

Excellent deal for three movies.......2006-11-16

First of all, The Sniper 1 dvd in this box set is incorrectly labeled as anamorphic widescreen. It says this right on the back of the dvd box. Let me assure you, this is not anamorphic widescreen. This version is a fullscreen version but the good thing is that this is the best transfer of this movie to date. The video quality and sound are superb. And, it is not the crappy dual layered version that was issued in 1998 which can give many dvd players lots of problems with freezing. This wonderful fullscreen version is a single layered disc which contains only the fullscreen version. It also has a top labeling on the dvd itself and plays perfectly with no freezing. The Sniper 2 and 3 dvds in this box set both have true anamorphic widescreen and are also top notch quality.

Sniper 1 is an excellent movie. Sniper 2 is not good at all, just one bad movie in my opinion. But Sniper 3 is excellent and makes up for how awful Sniper 2 is.

Sniper Series.......2006-08-10

I enjoyed Sniper I, and, if you are into some suspenseful "military Type" movies, this is a fun series to watch. Sometimes there are some hokey parts, but all-in-all, it was a good action series!!!

looking foward to Sniper 4.......2004-12-22

The only thing really similar in this trilogy is the character of Tom Berenger though all three of these movies are equally good for the most part. I won't be able to write a synopsis of Sniper without giving spoilers because these are movies people must view for themselves. If you like good action flicks with a good story involving a few plot twists, the Sniper films are sure to satisfy.

Better than Lord of the Rings?.......2004-12-05

Well...I guess there really is "no accounting for taste."
But, as they say, on to the movies. In a nutshell, I've seen Sniper I & II (please don't tell anyone), and even though I was foolishly naive enough to try it a second time, I'm really not dumb enough to waste money, or worse---time!---on Sniper III.
But, in all fairness, if ridiculously contrived plots, canned comic-book dialogue, dubiously stereotyped characters, not to mention two hours of Tom Beringer's seething, rabid hatred of......uh, well, just about everyone (his standard MO evidently).......well.....nuff said?
And, oh, if you're like me, i.e. assuming you'll get to see some actual long range tactical stuff (mil-dots, stalking/crawling, doping, ammo, sniper rifles, etc.)...think again. And go elsewhere.
On the other hand, if you're a Tom B fan, and enjoy all the aforementioned contrivances and badass attitudes, well then...you're in luck. These movies won't disappoint.

A really great climax to the original.......2006-10-30

This is a really great climax to the original movie "Sniper" This is a must have for real collectors.

AND ALL OF THE ABOVE - [COMMENTS].......2005-09-27

First off - the crass language. [Were they trying to make this movie trashy?] Certainly not intensely masculine!

Beckett is back - [not with the honed body we would have like to see] but still a strong masculine charisma.

Yup! being done dirt to by his superiors? They want him dead too! That would eliminate all their loose ends.

I was waiting to hear that he had gone back and eliminated them.
I did get what I was waiting for though. A shot that seems impossible to make. Doing what seems impossible is what we look for in our Super Heroes and especially our Snipers.

Come on you guys. What is with you that you cheapen our good movies [almost good] with barnyard language.
I really get disgusted with woman [and men for that matter] with vulgar mouths. I blame this on the writers and directors who seem to have illiterate minds.
Vulgarity is not a sign of masculine charisma - just low-bred mongrels.

I enjoyed Beckett - I ignored the crass language - and I love the shot! For Mature audiences only.

Give Tom Berenger a Chance; He Deserves a Better Film Than This Badly Told B-Movie.......2005-09-02

For those who still remember the terrific acting of Tom Berenger in Oliver Stone's 'Platoon,' it is painful to watch him in 'Sniper 3' (which is also set in Vietnam). Not that the film is a complete failure. Actually, Tom Berenger's performace as the veteran sniper Thomas Beckett is fairly good, if not his best. But the film's lazy direction (from the director of 'From the Dusk till Dawn: 3' ... no wonder) is too conspicous, killing the potential that some of the actions and characters might have.

Not much can be called original about the script of 'Sniper 3.' Thomas Beckett is sent to Vietnam, where he fought his war with his buddy during the war 30 years ago. But Beckett is informed that the friend who is supposed to be dead is now ruling the underground community as druglord (the idea inspired by 'Apocalypse Now'). And Beckett's assignment is to kill him.

Byron Mann appears as Sgt. Beckett's partner from Vietnam, and Thailand provides the convincing locations for the backdrop. Both actors did good acting, and the film tries to show the deeper characterization about Beckett, who talks about his old days, and even attends a wedding party (not drunk for that matter). The results of the efforts are not bad.

But the actions are so-so at best, with shoddy editing that often makes me wonder what is going on. For example, after Beckett's first 'hit,' a shoot-out scene at the rooftop begins, but as the film fails to show who is shooting (at) who, the sequence only shows alternately the confusing images of men shooting guns and men who got shot. And I still do not fully understand what happened in the last chapter, the terribly hurried and awfully incoherent wrap-up that comes with bamboo impalement. Excuse me, but I thought this is about a sniper's story...right?

Though the film is watchable thanks to the actors and locale, 'Sniper 3' reminds us of the fact that we really need somebody who can save Tom Berenger from this Grade B straight-to-video hell.

Not good enough........2005-07-29

I think that sniper 3 could of had potential but it was bad. unlike sniper 1 and 2 this film was so unrealistic and wasn't even good as the first two films, this time seargent Thomas Beckett goes to vietnam to assassinate a friend of his that he thought was dead many years ago it seems that hes become a suspected terrorist and Beckett has become a drunk and insufficeant person that it becomes unlikely that hes choosen for this mission. It seems that the film suffers from alot of faults like Tom Berenger gaining alot of weight and he doesn't look good for his role as a sniper, maybe hes geting old and this time the story just wasn't good enough for another film to be made so I hope that this one becomes the last in the series.

Pass this one up!!!!.......2005-03-16

This is a long way off from Sniper I & Sniper II. It is geared towards MOUT environments and nothing is very tactical in this movie. Keep the Sniper films in the bush and out of urban environments.
