The Marksman sounded good.But the results are less-than great.It concerns Wesley Snipes in the title role who "paints"(marks)enemy targets so they can be destroyed by air strikes.On one such mission involving a foreign Nucler plant that goes awry.Can Wesley save the Day?The better question is why Seagal is not in this?
What we get is a routine actioner full of so many clichés that it could fill 100 DTV action films.Aside from a couple of scenes,and a genuine twist near the middle;It is totally boring 98 percent of the time.Devoid of any real good build-up or action sequences whatsoever. The movie also reeks of stock movie footage that has been culled from better movies.Even what looks to be Snipes 1994 actioner Drop Zone.Did I also mention NO martial arts throw-downs?
Acting-wise Snipes looks totally uninterested or Bored.He barely speaks and shows zero Charisma that made him a star.Dynasty alum Emma Samms pops up as an Ex-lover/suit.She still looks pretty good,and could get a pilot on Upn instead of wasting her time with this dreck. Many other characters are introduced,poorly written,or disappear altogether that interest is hard to sustain.
I am sure Snipes just took a check.And there is nothing wrong about that.But he should get out now to save his actors cred instead of wasting his time in this DTV wasteland.
