Informed that a renegade general has been carrying out silent series ethnic cleansing missions deep in the Balkans, Sergeant Beckett and death row inmate B.J. Cole (Bokeem Woodbine) are sent on a suicide mission to take the general out at all costs. When Beckett discovers that the mission is merely a ploy by the government to set into motion an even bigger mission, his vengeance ignites an explosion of violence that threatens to burn even those at the very top of the food chain. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
Sorely lacks the character moments of the first Sniper, but not bad by direct-to-DVD standards.
Bill Gibron, DVD Verdict
Sniper 2 is all promise and no premise. Spending 91 minutes with this turgid turkey will replicate the feeling of being in a mercenary's crosshairs.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
A low-rent shoot-'em-up that may actually be worthy of a 3-dollar rental!
Clint Morris, Moviehole
offers very little in terms of plot, even grant action - no better really than your typical direct to video generic actioner

Well Sniper 2 was alot better than Sniper 1. Each to their own. I mean there was not much difference in the plot though a tiny bit exciting and more movin on than the first one. Besides there were some great funny funny/sarcastic quotes.

Tom Berenger is superb as the tough, aging Marine ex-sniper Sergeant Thomas Beckett who is lured out of retirement to assassinate a Serbian general believed to be committed atrocities against the Muslim population. He's teamed up with a death row inmate and dropped in enemy territory. The mission goes well, Beckett kills his mark but then things take a terrible twist. The rest of the film is a rather exciting adventure where things are not what they seem to be.
