In the jungles of Panama, Marine sniper Thomas Beckett (Tom Berenger) loses his partner during an ill-timed extraction. Inexperienced Richard Miller (Billy Zane) is sent down to Panama to be his next spotter and his commander on a mission without Congressional approval. They are to kill a leading rebel candidate before he could win the upcoming election. There is also an expert rebel sniper in the area who was Beckett's former student.This is a fine military action thriller. Berenger is very effective. Billy Zane is good as the over-compensating ambitious new guy. Their relationship generates good tension. It doesn't have anything special but it's done well.

Inception -Actually I don't have a lot of things to tell, but I will write the things I loved in this movie..

Beckett(Berenger, reserved and experienced) is top-of-the-line for snipers. He works in the Panamanian jungle. People like him work in pairs, or alone. Trust between the two can mean the difference between life or death. And he's paired up with rich pretty-boy Miller(Zane, more of an office man), who's never killed anyone, for the next mission. Will they ever get out alive?This favors tension(with a constant low current of it through the 92 minutes, or 95 with end credits) over action, and those looking for a popcorn flick should look elsewhere(no offense intended). Aiming for a narrower audience, pun intended, this seeks to be a gritty, realistic and highly detailed depiction of the reality for war-time marksmen. For those of us who want such, it's satisfying, although this approach is occasionally broken by brief bouts with Hollywoodism. Acting and casting is great.It's a thriller with a focus on the psychological, and, indeed, one of the biggest conflicts is between the two leads, who are among the only characters in this. You'd almost be forgiven for calling this a minimalist piece - two people, in the one seemingly endless setting, and a straightforward plot. Both are human beings, with flaws, and as this progresses, they get to know each other, not everything goes as it should, and things will get pushed right to the edge.There is some strong language and bloody violence in this. I recommend this to anyone who likes the concept. 7/10

When you want intense combat, you turn to Tom Berenger (Platoon). Here he plays a sniper in the jungle going after rebels and drug lords. Forget that the reason they are going really makes them murderers. It's just the way things have always been done.Life's a bitch, so he gets a green office type (Billy Zane) to help on the mission. He may shoot well, but he has never killed anyone.The film is in the hands of Luis Llosa, who stunk up Anaconda. He doesn't do much better here, but Berenger makes the movie worthwhile. Sure, it may be a little long - who wants to see a lot of walking through the jungle - but is is good, tense action when the time is right
