two sniper travel deep in the jungle in search for their target while a slimy south american drug lord and a prominent general . moderately successful at build a brooding atmosphere and sniper be by most account a very solid thriller and take it time and establish it character and their plight and climaxing in some good action sequence . director llosa isn not always successful at maintain the sombre mood and could have tighten the story somewhat while some detour here do not add up to much . but this film be far good than his stallone or stone travesty the specialist . billy zane and usually incredibly tiresome and do surprisingly well a the inexperienced sniper team up with veteran berenger . a for berenger this film prove to be his last good big budget hollywood venture . he can do these kind of role in his sleep and he very convince here and reprise the role twice more in direct to dvd sequel .
