Crackle Action Theater

Crackle has a ton of movies that seem to have gone straight to DVD.
I'm about to watch a movie.
first person that responds gets to pick
Hero Wanted - Cuba Gooding Jr is pissed at Ray Liotta for leaving him for dead during a robbery. Norman Reedus is also in this.
The Death and Life of Bobby Z - Paul Walker needs to clear his name by going undercover for Laurence Fishburne as a drug dealer.
Sniper Reloaded - Billy Zane reprises his role from the first movie and helps the Tom Berenger characters son hunt down some scum
PS - I have never seen a Sniper movie so I won't be able to compare it to the first three in the subsequent review.

First Sniper movie was pretty good. This new one looks to be the best of that bunch.

so you are saying go with Sniper? 
Posted on 3/21/13 at 11:00 pm to Dr RC
Yes. Anything starring Cuba Gooding Jr or Paul Walker is guaranteed to suck so Sniper wins by default.

You obviously didn't watch Star-ving with Bud Bundy guy and Parker Lewis. That shite was so stupid I couldn't stop laughing.

Crackle is free, Netflix is not. Crackle is good for what it is. If they wanted to charge I'd have a different opinion. The only real complaint I have with it is they do a poor job of mixing the commercials into natural breaks during movies.
as for the flick
if Sniper: Reloaded is the best the series has to offer, its a pretty awful set of films.
first off, the description makes it seem like Billy Zane is a main character. He is barely more than a cameo. He doesn't show up until 45 minutes in and gets very little screen time. That said, he is the best thing about the movie.
Story wise the flick is very predictable and has been done better many times. A group of soldiers get caught in a higher ups dirty dealings with weapons and rebels. Things go bad and the survivor wants revenge. There is a useless love story tacked on complete with a "WTF they are already doing it?" nudity free sex scene.
There is an odd subplot about a hunter protecting kids form getting turned into Kony style soldiers but it comes off a tad creepy like they are his slaves or something.
Anyway, just like this review, the movie tends to jump around much like the bad editing that goes on all the way through. There are multiple transition scenes that are completely worthless and do nothing to movie the film forward.
One of them has the main guy and the hunter walking around looking at elephants and giraffes during a very cheesy talk about the soul of Africa. It almost comes off like they simply had nothing to show and tossed a few helicopter shots of landscapes in to pad time.
I will give them that the guy playing Tom Berenger's kid kinda sorta looks like him. So there's that.
In the end, Billy Zane and one ridiculously violent kill that comes out of nowhere and doesn't come close to fitting the rest of the film's tone cannot make this worth watching. The action is tame and the acting is weak.
This is barely above a bad SciFi Channel movie. Mabe even below b/c it doesn't really have any so bad its good qualities.
Final Grade - D/D-
next Crackle action flick I go for will probably have Cuba Gooding Jr as there are several of them to choose from.
