Sniper: Legacy (2014)

Sniper: Legacy (2014) is the fifth installment in the Sniper film series, which focuses on elite marksman and former Marine, Thomas Beckett. Directed by Don Michael Paul, the movie stars Tom Berenger reprising his role as Thomas Beckett alongside Chad Michael Collins as Brandon Beckett, Thomas’s son.

The story centers around Thomas Beckett, a seasoned sniper, and his son Brandon, who have become embroiled in a dangerous mission involving the assassination of high-profile political figures. When a sniper begins targeting politicians and military leaders, Thomas and Brandon are called in to investigate. The trail leads them to uncover a larger conspiracy and a plot that threatens not only their lives but national security.

As they work together to stop the rogue sniper, father and son must deal with their own personal issues, particularly the strained relationship between them. Brandon, a sniper in training, faces the challenge of stepping out of his father’s shadow while navigating the moral complexities of their mission.

The action sequences are well-paced, with a mix of sniper action, close combat, and tactical operations. The film uses its settings—a variety of urban and rural landscapes—effectively, keeping the action fresh while maintaining the tension typical of the sniper genre. The cinematography also focuses on the isolation and precision required in sniping, building suspense during key moments when the sniper’s target comes into view.
