I saw this yet again last night. Not a bad film in my opinion, and I plan to watch the second and third sequels later this year. The stories are okay, but Tom Berenger really makes these good films, and I think he's been a very underrated and overlooked actor in Hollywood -- he should have been the next Steve McQueen.

Steve McQueen? How about a Paul Newman, he is so gorgeous!!
Did he have a bad agent? Or maybe he just didn't want to work that much?
He is a fantasy of mine...

In interviews he's stated he's a private person, so perhaps he didn't want to be fully in the limelight. After doing such a great job in Platoon, he could have written his own ticket. He instead chose to do smaller, less prominent films after that such as Shoot to Kill, another nice little film with a tiny budget (though I recommend it as well).
Sniper is a good movie. Both Tom Berringer and Billy Zane did a good job in that movie. I have it on DVD. It is highly unlikely that any of the sequels are any good or even sensible as far as continuity.
Sniper was awesome. Really intense and suspenseful.
And that bullet sequence, a fore runner to similar scenes in later movies.
