There's also some very silly green screen during a chase sequence that did not need to be there. It slows down a lot around the mid-point and never really recovers. Remar is good as always and his narration adds something, but it's not enough. It has many, many cliches that we're all used to seeing by now: One Last Mission, the baddie mansion, Prerequisite Torture, the double-crosses, etc.
So you'd think, with all that talent involved, the end product would be something other than the standard fare that we get. There's even a small part from Lee Reherman as Ziggy (of course his name is Ziggy) - the guy from Champions (1997) who looks like David Letterman and has a similar name. Not only does it feature fan favorites Remar - last seen around these parts with Quiet Cool (1986) - and Mario Van Peebles, it also has Boxleitner and two other people with 80's cult pedigrees - Catherine Mary Stewart from The Apple (1980) and Night of the Comet (1984), and it was directed by Armand Mastroianni of He Knows You're Alone (1980) fame. Sharpshooter is a made-for-cable outing that should have been much better than it is, based on the people involved. Can he do it? Will he live to be the ultimate SHARPSHOOTER? However, as you might expect, after some double-crosses, back-stabs, and general intrigue, the hunter becomes the hunted and now Dillon has to use his lifetime of survival and killing skills to defend himself against the organization that trained him and that he's worked for for years: the U. As Dillon is figuring out his mission, he meets a magazine writer named Amy (Stewart), as well as Sheriff Graham (Boxleitner), the law in that small town. Of course, Phillips has a large mansion and a respectable amount of goons at his disposal. However, his true mission is to assassinate an evil baddie named Richard Phillips (Sapienza). It's there he's supposed to pose as a Los Angeles lawyer just out to get some "R n' R". Flick (Van Peebles), his boss, convinces him to travel to Julian, California, a rural fishing village. But, wouldn't you just know it, he's convinced to do the classic and time-honored "One Last Job". After a lifetime of traveling around the world killing people for the CIA, he finally wants to hang up his sniper rifle and retire.
#Voroshilov sharpshooter professional#
Reviewed by tarbosh22000 4 / 10 It delivers absolutely nothing new to the One Last Mission genre,ĭillon (Remar) is a professional assassin. The defending of the family's honor needs extreme actions,actions who none wouldn't even think to do against such overwhelming mass of corrupted police mans.But it's true thats the situation in many countries that had left the Soviet Union (1989-1991 hope I'm not wrong for the period of the breaking down).
#Voroshilov sharpshooter movie#
In answer of the previous comment I'd like to say that the movie doesn't want to be exciting with mysteries like some thriller-kind films.The idea is to make you feel like the main character (the shooter obviously) and to pick a side in the conflict-would you sit and watch like the tabla-players or you are gonna take the justice in your own hands and give retribution and a bit vengeance of course.My point is that the movie (my opinion) wants not to be interesting with some scenes of complicated events,but with the emotional side of what's happen.Because to start a war against the chief of the Russian Police Department is kinda risky and dangerous,but in this situation the old sharpshooter doesn't have any other choice.
