The Marksman (2005 Video)
4/10
A Plausible Story Fowled up by Poor Attention to Reality
14 November 2005
Like others have commented, I too thought the movie had a poor go-about. However, I gave it a better rating. I don't believe the movie is THAT poor. The plot was feasible, and the storyline could be followed, but there were way too many mistakes made from props to costuming. This is probably a reason why I only saw it as a release to video and never in a theater.

I don't think Snipes is a bad actor, though I feel he's not pushing forth to his full potential. He's no spring chicken, though. His movie career seems to have shown up much later than others, and for a man reaching the age of 50, he needs to adjust his style of action roles. I still think he can be cast a great lead in an action flick, but he's got to look the part and make the audience believe it. (on a side note, he's gotta read the script ahead of time and make sure the props & costumes fit the role more realistically)
