Sniper: Special Ops

Sniper: Special Ops is a 2016 action war drama film written and directed by Fred Olen Ray. It is part of a series of Steven Seagal‘s direct-to-video movies following the failure Half Past Dead, and has been declared by most of Seagal's fans as one of his worst films of all time, scoring a 3.2 on IMDb.

This film is unrelated to the long-running Sniper film series starring Tom Berenger.

Plot
A Special Ops Military Task Force, led by Sergeant Vic Mosby (Tim Abell) with a veteran sniper Sergeant Jake Chandler (Steven Seagal) as "Over Watch" during a mission are sent to a remote village in Afghanistan to extract an American Congressman being held hostage by the Taliban.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Despite the title, Seagal's character only uses his sniper rifle in the very first scene of the film.
 * 2) Extremely confusing and poorly written story.
 * 3) Just like most Seagal's Films after Executive Decision he is impossible to get hurt.
 * 4) Abysmal acting, which ranges from dull and lifeless to downright hammy and over-the-top.
 * 5) Lame and otherwise pathetic action sequences that rely too much on stunt doubles, as expected from Seagal's other straight-to-video films.
 * 6) Most of Seagal's lines are delivered in a low, slow and mumbling voice making it really difficult to understand what he's saying.
 * 7) Very poor special effects.
 * 8) The film was evidently made to cash on the success of the Lone Survivor and American Sniper. And it shows.
