Though, to be honest, that scenes takes up about 15-20 minutes.Īt one point in the movie he does seem to finally get into action as he says he’s going out to commandeer a truck. Only during the opening scene does Seagal show off his marksmanship. Which is why he’s able to make so many movies in such a short amount of time.įor a movie called Sniper: Special Ops there isn’t a lot of sniper work in it. He probably shot all of his scenes in a day. You know, the thing he is actually famous for. They don’t even put him into some hand-to-hand combat. The truth is that Seagal is hardly in this movie and when he is on screen, he’s just sitting in a chair or laying on a rooftop looking through a the scope of a rifle. He’s even given top billing and the title “Sniper: Special Ops” refers to his character. Still, both these posters feature Steven Seagal as the lead actor.
At least this one has been made by someone with better skills. The other had the head of Steven Seagal badly photshopped on someone else’s body. The discovery of the daughter of a local Taliban leader in the truck leads to even more complications.īefore I get to the movie take a look at that poster. Since there’s no money or equipment for another rescue mission, the rest of the team must recover a stranded truck filled with munitions. They hide in a building while the rest of the team returns to base.
Due to complications during the extraction sniper Seagal and a shot soldier are left behind. The story is quite simple: a group of special ops rescue an American Congressman being held by the Taliban from a small deserted city in Afghanistan. This also the last time I will be mentioning something that is “great” about this movie, because this is really a bottom of the barrel movie with hardly any redeeming aspect whatsoever. Sniper: Special Ops is a great example of how his movies are just quick cash grabs. The answer to that is simple: quantity over quality. You might wonder how he’s capable to put out movies at such a pace. For comparison: when he started making movies it took him seven years to make seven movies. That is more than a movie every other month. According to the IMDB Steven Seagal released 7 movies in 2016 alone.
