Dive into the heart-pounding action of the latest American blockbuster, “Sniper,” released in 2023. This film offers a meticulously detailed portrayal of snipers, complete with jaw-dropping headshot sequences that are sure to thrill any gunfight enthusiast. It’s an adrenaline-fueled cinematic experience you won’t want to miss.
The Setup
The movie kicks off with a clandestine meeting orchestrated by Ivan, the leader of a formidable terrorist organization. The agenda is twofold: First, the Prime Minister of Kostaved has refused to cooperate with them, a defiance that enrages Ivan. The responsible official is immediately executed by the guards on Ivan’s orders. Second, Ivan tasks his subordinates with finding a woman named Yuki, codenamed “Death Madam,” at any cost.
A Mission Revived
Meanwhile, Brandon, who has been out of action for a while, receives a critical assignment from his superior, Old Black. Six months prior, Old Black had dispatched Yuki to assassinate Ivan Bubalo, but the mission failed, leaving the female agent with multiple gunshot wounds and her whereabouts unknown. Just when they thought the mission was a lost cause, Old Black receives a distress signal from Yuki.
Her location is confirmed to be within Ivan’s palace. Therefore, Brandon and Lin are tasked with infiltrating the palace, rescuing Yuki, and eliminating Ivan along with his top five officials. The Global Response team is back in action.
Infiltration and Elimination
Equipped with his sniper rifle, Brandon arrives near Ivan’s palace. After careful reconnaissance, he notices only two guards at the entrance. Taking advantage of a shift change, the bearded operative uses tranquilizers to subdue one of the soldiers and confidently walks into the palace disguised in his uniform. Brandon sets up his sniper rifle and begins observing the courtyard. He quickly identifies his first target.
The woman is Anna, the Minister of Propaganda for Aragon, known for controlling her followers through threats and intimidation. However, with a guard nearby, Brandon hesitates to strike. He first heads to the restroom and removes the curtain. Soon after, Bubalo’s lawyer enters to relieve himself. With the unobstructed view, Mike takes the shot, eliminating him instantly. The bearded operative then stuffs the body into a trash bag and brazenly carries it away to hide it. Next, he targets the head of security, Ivan’s most formidable henchman, who determines strength through deadly combat.
Deception and Double Tap
Lin takes the lead, approaching Mario and falsely claiming that Lina wants to meet him on the rooftop. Mario doesn’t suspect a thing. As he leaves, Lin sets his sights on another high-ranking official, Katrina, Anna’s sister, who is surrounded by a group of women. As the one in charge of the national wealth, she has plundered countless civilian assets. The bearded operative uses the same trick, luring her to the terrace under Mario’s name.
As expected, the two arrive on the balcony, ready to share some private moments due to their unusual relationship. However, Mike delivers a double tap, sending them both to the afterlife. The next target is a bald man.
He is Bubalo’s personal physician. The bearded operative attempts to eliminate him discreetly, but the bald man is extremely vigilant. Just as they are about to draw their weapons, the missing female agent appears, claiming that the doctor saved her. Now that they’ve found their comrade, they decide to complete the mission as quickly as possible. Mike breaks a flowerpot with his gun, successfully distracting a large guard, and then shoots the Minister of Propaganda. Finally, the cult leader Bubalo appears, enjoying the worship of his followers.
Escape and Betrayal
To demonstrate his charitable side, Bubalo leads everyone in prayer, bringing the atmosphere to a climax. Mike fires a precise shot, causing him to fall to the ground, and chaos erupts. The bearded operative and his team, guided by the bald doctor, take advantage of the confusion to escape the cult’s palace. That night, they report to the captain via computer, who informs them that a helicopter will pick them up in the morning. However, the next day, Brandon discovers that his jeep parked outside is missing, along with the bald doctor.
Unbeknownst to him, the bearded operative was sleeping in the trunk of the car last night. Seeing the doctor get out of the car with a briefcase, Lin secretly follows him to an outdoor cafe, where he discovers that the doctor has stolen their laptop. And just yesterday, he had quietly memorized the password.
Lin contacts the intelligence guy, Pete, who uses GPS to pinpoint a location and intercepts all surrounding network information. After investigation, they discover that the doctor is chatting with someone calling himself Prince Caspian. The two seem to be negotiating a secret transaction, with the other party willing to pay $5.2 million for the “Maltese Falcon” in the doctor’s possession, as this information is crucial to him.
Pete quickly obtains the transaction coordinates, and Lin continues to track the doctor, discovering that he has driven to an abandoned city (To be continued).
