I've enjoyed pretty much all the Sniper movies to date. Even the more recent, cheaper, revival entries, featuring Beckett's son instead of him. I always have fun with them, and as far as Direct-to-Video action sequels go they're pretty much my favorite and I always look forward to the next mission we get to see. Unfortunately, Ghost Shooter, the 6th installment in this series, was a huge let down. The script is all over the place and messy as hell, jumping around from scene to scene with hardly any direction as to where it's going, the main bad guy is essentially some faceless, nameless random, the characters are all barely even so much as cardboard cutouts, never letting us get to know them and worse, even the returning characters have 0 personality and are just mere shadows of their characters from the previous movies.

On the slight plus side, Billy Zane is once again back (though given criminally next to nothing to do, and not even any good lines of dialogue like in Part 4: Reloaded), and the action is pretty engaging at times, especially during one decently-suspenseful scene mid-way through at a lodge in the snow.

That's pretty much it though. It's hard to believe that the same guy who directed this letdown also directed the previous entry, Sniper: Legacy (which was one of my favorites in the series), as well as Tremors 5: Bloodlines, Lake Placid 4: The Final Chapter, and Jarhead 2: Field of Fire, all various other Direct-to-Video sequels I've adored.
