Yeah, it's a decent flick. Ed Harris and Colin Ferrell? I forget. I also don't know the historical accuracy of it. But, I love snipers, and of course I liked this sniper movie. I really like the bit with jumping over the hole in the building, and how it was pure luck as to the one who got shot. Tres cool.

There is also a good bit in Assassins with Sly Stallone and Antonio Tanteres (yes, that's an intentional typo, and is the name a friend of mine used to call him by). The movie as a whole is mediocre, but there's a great scene of a sniper lying in wait and how annoying, arduous, and long such a wait can be. A good little bit of a movie, there. Maybe check the movie out -- but the whole movie is NOT of the same calibre.

If you like historical war movies, you cannot beat Band of Brothers. It was superior by far to Saving Private Ryan.
