A thrilling and passable sequel stars Tom Berenguer as Sergeant Thomas Beckett.

Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenguer) is the best sniper of the US Marines, nowadays he takes on a previous friend. Sgt. Beckett is a seasoned assassin who gets a rush from killing. Beckett is an expert Marine sniper, a military hit-man with 74 kills under his belt and a troubled conscience squirming in his head. He is recruited by NSA officer (Denis Ardnt) to go to Ho Chi Minh city to eliminate his former friend, Paul Finnegan (John Doman), who has become a ruthless drug dealer and a dangerous terrorist. In Ho Chi Minh, previously called Saigon, he join forces with a Vietnam agent, Quan (Byron Mann). Quan has top brass plans but no field experience. A bit later on, they have to penetrate the lush jungle to find their target. He only needs one shot!. Everyone is a target!.A familiar story with plenty of action, violence, shootouts, and a twisted intrigue. There's action enough, but is poorly choreographed and plot is cursory at best. Along the way, the smooth running of the operation is swiftly jeopardised by growing tension, treason and other shortfalls. The plot is somewhat reminiscent of "Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now", in which an officer, Martin Sheen, is assigned in assessinating Colonel Kurtz, Marlon Brando, on a journey through the jungle, while in "Sniper 3" a Sergeant, Tom Berenguer, has the mission to kill renegade John Doman. The motion picture was uneven but professionally directed by P. J. Pesce.The thrilling saga Sniper is made up of "Sniper" , 1992, by Luis Llosa, stars Tom Berenguer, Billy Zane, J. T. Walsh, Aden Young, Dale Dye, dealing with Beckett goes in search of his target, a politician planning a coup with the help of a druglord. "Sniper 2" , 2002, by Craig R. Baxley with Tom Berenger, Bookem Woodbine, Dan Butler, Linden Ashby, in which Beckett is called on for one last mission, to kill a Serbian general who's committing atrocities on the Muslim population. "Sniper 3", 2004, by P. J. Pesce with Tom Berenguer, Denis Ardnt, Byron Mann. "Sniper Reloaded", 2011, by Claudio Fah with Billy Zane, Chad Michel Collins, Patrick Lyster, in which the son of the renowned sniper decides to track down the sniper who ambushed his squad down when they were sent to rescue a white planter in the Congo.

Three movies in, and still an enjoyable franchise...

Well for a third movie in the franchise, then I will say that writers J. S. Cardone and Ross Helford actually managed to pull it off well enough. And oddly enough then I have actually never sat down to watch "Sniper 3" before now in 2022.

The storyline in "Sniper 3" was interesting and well-written, despite the fact that it was deviating rather far from the concept of the whole thing about being a sniper. This was more of an actual ordinary action movie. So if you're expecting more of the things that the 1993 original movie had to offer, then you're in for a rude awakening.

I actually enjoyed the storyline here, as it added more layers to the Thomas Beckett character (played by Tom Berenger) and made him a more well-rounded and fleshed out characters. And the writers did so in a very pleasing and fulfilling manner.

"Sniper 3" is a good combination of storytelling, action and character development, so there is a little of just about everything for anyone watching the movie.

Something I don't understand is why they didn't even attempt to make it look like the movie was taking place in Vietnam. I mean, the Thai language sign posts and store fronts just was a dead give-away that the movie was most definitely not actually filmed in Vietnam, but filmed in Chiang Mai.

Anyway, "Sniper 3" is an entertaining and enjoyable movie, so director P. J. Pesce managed to put the script to the screen in a wholesome and enjoyable way.

My rating of "Sniper 3" lands on a six out of ten stars.
