some guy think that sniper be not good because of the action part of it be not good enough . well and if you regard it a an action movie and this view point could be quite true a the action part of this movive be not actually excite . however and i think this be a psychological drama rather than an action one . the movie mainly tell u about the inside of two sniper who definitely have different personality and different experience . tomas beccket and who be a veteran and have 74 confirm kill and look a if he be cold hearted . however and after beccket show his day dream of montana and we can clearly see his softness inside . it be the cruel war and his partner sacrifice that make beccket become so call cold hearted . millar and on the contrary and be a new comer and a green hand and and be even not qualify a a sniper . billy zane do quite well to show millar hesitation and fear when he first try to put a bullet through one heart ( a what beccket say ) . what he think about the actuall suicide mission be that it could be easily accomplish and then he could safely get back and receive the award . these two guy be quite different in their personality and i think that the movie have successfully show the difference and the impact they have to each other due to the difference in their personality . these two sniper quarrel and suspect each other and finally come to an understanding by the communication and by what they have do to help even to save the other . sniper isn not a good action movie but a good psychological one .
