Sinopses(1)
Tough guy Thomas Beckett is an US soldier working in the Panamanian jungle. His job is to seek out rebels and remove them using his sniper skills. Beckett is notorious for losing his partners on such missions. This time he's accompanied by crack marksman Richard Miller, who's more of an office-type. Together they plan to seek out an important rebel leader, whilst avoiding a rogue marksman who frequents this part of the jungle. (TriStar Pictures)

Was it already possible to see slow-motion shots of bullets in 1993? That's something you don't see every day. And it really works for those lunatics. The jungle sniper story is somewhat run-of-the-mill, but the overall approach and the effort to come up with something new intrigued me. That's why I'm giving it a higher rating. Maybe someone will notice and agree with me.

No final, Llosa consegue deixar o espetador emocionado, tenso e catártico enquanto expulsa os vilões. Na altura do seu lançamento, poderia tê-la classificado melhor como uma estrela a mais. Hoje, no entanto, Beckett — O Atirador parece muito cinzento, por vezes aborrecido, e sobretudo grita mais fraquezas do filme B, que são regidas pela música terrivelmente artificial de Chang. Os filmes de Rambo tiveram Sylvester, o ritmo, e os motivos de Jerry Goldsmith. Este é apenas uma fraca infusão deles.
