Seven Snipers Review: Actor Chemistry Carries a Thin Story
A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
A review of Sanda Sciberras' film "Seven Snipers," which follows a retired sniper in hiding on an Australian ranch who must reunite her elite kill squad when a vengeful warlord threatens her daughter. The review notes the film relies heavily on actor chemistry to sell a slight story, and while that chemistry is mostly present, the film struggles with its limited backstory and execution.
