Vinnie Jones is good value, so a new movie starring him, along With Danny Glover (sometimes he tries hard to cover his peech inspediment)

So I give the movie a run..... lower scale of B grade... and they went really out of their way with the authentic firearm action... the AKs have a bore that looks like a .17cal... and the SWAT snipers are armed with... they must be those Military issue long ranger sniper rifles....

this one is so good it doesnt even need the scope cover removed;

:lol:

Does it get to the point in the production houses where they just say Eff it... the viewers are so hypnotised they just dont care anymore?
For goodness sake, at least try....

Is that an air gun? And the scope cover is just ridiculous.

Please tell me that it's classified as a comedy. :lol:
“Accidental Discharges” DO NOT OCCUR !!

An "Unintended Discharge" is nothing more than the lack of appropriate safety procedures or the failure to follow them..!

I love my country, but fear my government.

That aint no air gun....its a long range sniper weapon rifle, I know it is cause I saw it in a movie I did.....

You know LR sniper OR airgun....we still need to apply for a permit to acquire one here, once we're fully licensed.... with the permit taking a minimum of 28days in some states, and min 28days in ALL states if its your first firearm (yeah, even though theres no fire in this type of gun)...

The scope cover one... lol.

Fair enough amongst all the commotion the production guys miss it or whatever, how is the actor still pushing on looking at the cover though :lol:

the best part was his spotter calls the shot, says "one click" (or maybe 2).... then adjusts the scope accordingly for his long range air-snipe :lol:

Sniper - Ghost shooter..... B+ grade movie, lots of shooting action, different rifles, old soviet anti-tank rifle, The Tali-wacker jihadi rebel/terrorists were using (I think) a Blazer topped with an S&B......

Good action, bit of a plot, theyve got to find the sniper-sniper before it's too late!
Standard endless mags, mags with dummy rounds etc
But this must be the first sniperish movie where the sniper actually misses a shot!

Oh.... and the snipers use a special long range 1xmagnification scope :roll: ;

beats MKR or whatever else the commercial networks dare to broadcast....

As a post script, if you watch the opening scene, spoiler: there is some knife-to-neck..... think about how real it looks..... (I'll say no more ;) )

Michael Moore's latest effort "Where to invade next?" Not what I thought it was going to be about....

This isn't a war bashing movie, but, does make you wonder alot about what's going on in the world in comparison to say, Australia.

For instance. You work at Ducati motor bike factory - more holidays than a school kid; because having happy workers makes more money for the company (who would've thought that stupid idea?).

If you get the chance, watch it.

Not sure I feel it has been mentioned but the show "westworld" with Ed Harris and Anthony Hopkins is just brilliant with a great cast. A most watch with plenty of guns! Some great questions in there.

It depends what you consider "good". I've been a movie buff for most of my life. Bill Collins the expert movie buff used to work for me on 2CH in Sydney. I once spent 8 hours talking films with Bill at the airport terminal in Los Angeles waiting on flights. So if you tell me what sort of films you like, most of my knowledge stems from the 1940s through to the sixties, I haven't actually been to the movies for about 20 years but I have a video library of about 800. I could recommend some films of which you may not be aware. What do you like ?

Was looking for Lethal Weapon (diplomatic immunity and all that) one of my Faves in the buddy cop genre - and came across the series, had no idea it existed...brand new, featuring one of the Wayans Brothers as Murtaugh, and of course a white bloke as Riggs... actually pretty good... lots of shooting including the high tech machine gun that "fires multiple rounds at once".....

Perhaps this will lead to a Lethal Weapon V...

Marky Mark has now turned this into a TV show which isn't any worse than the movie, it's on Netflix :drinks:


Did he bring The Fresh Bunch? :D
