After the horrendous "Rogue Mission" the franchise took a step forward with 2023's "Sniper: GRIT" and is officially all the way back with "Sniper: The Last Stand", the eleventh movie in what has mostly been a reliable, if somewhat cliched and stereotypical B-movie franchise.
Mercifully and thankfully, this film does away with the cringey alleged-comedy that dotted the last two instalments and returns to the franchise's more serious roots.
Fair to say there isn't as much sniping as you might expect from a movie with the word 'sniper' in the title. However, there's enough bloody, gory action - some of it in John Woo-style slow motion - to sink a ship. Maybe two.
Chad Michael Collins returns from and centre as Brandon Beckett for the eighth time in a row. He was almost being a bit-player in the last two movies, but is unquestionably the star once again, kicking butt and taking names. The dude is a lethal weapon.
Ryan Robbins' Zeke Rosenberg is also back (for the fourth time), and the chemistry between the two is spot on. The character has really grown on me since "Sniper: Assassin's End".
The title makes you wonder if there'll be a twelfth entry in the franchise. Here's hoping that we haven't seen the last of Beckett and Rosenberg in acion.

I watched this sight unseen, only knowing that it was a Marvel movie from the Spider Man universe and that it starred Maximus himself, Australia's own Russell Crowe.
Whilst there was a lot of nothing much between the many, varied and bloodied action sequences that are definitely closer to what you'd find in "Deadpool" rather than "The Avengers" or another more mainstream franchise. The visuals are pretty spectacular.
However, there is none of the wisecracking humour that is present in other Marvel films. "Kraven the Hunter" is dark and grim, with little in the way of light moments,
Rusty's Russian accent left a little to be desired, but he plays a central role in the movie about his son, Sergei Kravinoff (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), who does a lot of killing, and bloodily so. The bad guy is Aleksei Sytsevich aka the Rhino.
Decent enough superhero action film. I've seen worse.
