Piece of Crap movie.
I can honestly say that Sniper: The White Raven is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. From start to finish, it is a complete disaster that fails on every level. The plot is convoluted and nonsensical, leaving the audience confused and disinterested. It feels like the filmmakers tried to cram too many ideas into one movie, resulting in a messy and incoherent storyline.
The acting in this film is abysmal. The characters are one-dimensional and lack any depth or nuance. It's as if the actors were just going through the motions, delivering their lines without any emotion or conviction. The dialogue is cringe-worthy and filled with clichés, making it painful to listen to.
The action sequences, which should be the highlight of a movie like this, are poorly executed and lack any excitement or tension. The cinematography is dull and uninspired, with no creative shots or visually engaging moments. Even the special effects are laughable, looking cheap and unrealistic.
The pacing of Sniper: The White Raven is incredibly slow, making the already unbearable runtime feel even longer. There are numerous scenes that serve no purpose and could have easily been cut. It feels like the filmmakers were trying to stretch a thin plot to fill the entire running time, resulting in a tedious and monotonous viewing experience.
To make matters worse, the movie is filled with offensive stereotypes and insensitive portrayals. It's disappointing to see such regressive and harmful depictions in a modern film. It's clear that the filmmakers didn't put any thought or effort into addressing these issues, further highlighting their incompetence.
Overall, Sniper: The White Raven is an absolute trainwreck of a movie. It fails to deliver on any level and leaves the audience with a sense of regret for wasting their time. I would strongly advise avoiding this film at all costs.
A slow movie, both at the beginning and at the end. The first half is a little drawn out, there are no details that would explain content of the events for those who are far from the situation in Ukraine. If a sniper is calm and slow, a movie shouldn't be, not in this case. There is also no action in the second half of the film, everything is just as smooth, quiet, sometimes boring. The finale is similar for films with such hero - we have already seen this in "The Enemy at the Gates"
Slow to start, and slow to end. Not very deep or meaningful in any way, but nonetheless fairly enjoyable to watch once and never care about this movie ever again. Slava Ukraini!
Raven was a teacher. Then some Russian soldiers that entered the Ukrainian territory found his remote shelter and killed his pregnant wife, who was suspected to be a local spy because of her appearance. Shortly after the incident, a pair of local soldiers found him at that place and helped him burry his wife. As time passed, he became a soldier, then a first-class sniper, all guided by his will to get revenge for his wife's death and evict the enemies from his nation's land. He finally got to fulfill his revenge mission before coming back to visit his wife's grave and his house, which had been burned before. The movie closed with him on a mission during the winter season.

The opening act begins a little slow, focusing primarily on setting up our main character, who, while somewhat intriguing, is nowhere near as interesting as the setting itself, which the movie fails to explain in its entirety outside of Ukraine = good & Russia = bad. In terms of action, things progress well, with tensions building up appropriately. There's a distinct lack of big explosions & loud guns, replaced by a more nuanced, chess-style pacing that perfectly encapsulates the intensity in a way that feels ultimately more 'thriller' than 'action'. It focuses more on the human side of war, which is far from original but not what I had expected from this film initially. It's a decent war film that struggles to cement itself as anything other than pure propaganda, holding itself back from being a great film in the process. Perhaps taking the time to explain the Donbas region, the reason for the conflicts, and why Crimea is relevant would make it a much more accessible and exciting film to those who are only familiar with the most recent conflicts in this region.
