The Sniper (2020) is an intriguing entry in the action genre, intertwining themes of betrayal and revenge. Set against the gritty backdrop of Jiangcheng, it tells the story of Lu Lan, a punk who steps into the shoes of the notorious Ghost Hand. The film’s tone is quite tense, with a palpable atmosphere of danger as Lu Lan navigates his precarious situation with the Xihe Tang organization. The pacing keeps you engaged, blending moments of intense action with quieter, introspective scenes. What stands out is the practical effects used during the action sequences; they carry a certain rawness that feels authentic. The performances, while varying, bring a rough charm to the characters, especially Lu Lan’s journey through hatred and discovery.
