A Special Ops military Force, led by expert sniper Sergeant Jake Chandler (Steven Seagal), are sent to a remote Afghan village to extract an American congressman being held by the Taliban. The rescue mission is a success, but Jake, separated after a firefight with the enemy, stays behind to help an injured soldier. Sergeant Vic Mosby (Tim Abell) desperately tries to convince Major Jackson (Dale Dye) to let him go back and save the soldiers, but is ordered on a mission to retrieve a truckload of munitions which could be vital for the military base. In direct violation of orders, Vic and his Special Ops Team decide to head back to the village to rescue the stranded soldiers. Outnumbered and out gunned, Vic and his men engage in a massive shootout against the enemy, while Jake uses his expert skills to save them all from certain death
手法像80年代，剪辑丝毫没有紧张感，美国大兵和阿拉伯武装都拿着枪胡乱突突突。
名为狙击手，可狙击手却没多少戏份，从头至尾气定神闲地坐在椅子上。
主创根本没花心思，也就结尾女记者假扮成阿拉拍女子的设计玩了把小聪明。枪战场面、演员表演、剧情设计都很应付。
史蒂文席格挺着大肚子坐一会儿就把片子拍完了，这钱真好挣，本来他饰演的狙击手就不是主角，却也因为片名成了主角。这片子改名“营救狙击手”更合适。
