King of Snipers

It was a hard film to get, but in the end it was a success. The film had the makings of being the action flick of the year and after 20 minutes I was even sure of it because the hospital sequence full of awesome fights, top choreography and a ruthless sniper was awesome, but then it starts to stagnate a bit. It bothered me a lot that there were comic interludes, I really hate it when I have an action dark movie and there are these Asian comic interludes that don't fit here at all and are awkward, it kind of spoils the impression of an otherwise solid action movie. Technically it's otherwise decent, the female protagonist is likeable and definitely has skill, story-wise it's obviously very weak and sometimes the weaker CGI hurts especially during the explosions. I was expecting a more intense finale, so that's why only 3 stars in the end, but it's good fun. Had I seen it 5 years ago, I would have probably gone crazy. 65% (19/04/2024)
