When the American government launches a covert operation to depose an opposition leader in Panama, they team a veteran army marksman with a greenhorn sniper who is unproven on the battlefield to do the dirty work. The kid is arrogant at first, and virtually ignored by the jaded older soldier who's seen-it-all-before. But the stark reality of murder, even at a distance, is too much for the young man to bear. His fear and uncertainty end up putting the entire mission in jeopardy -- and his veteran partner may be the one who pays the greatest price. [More]

A solid action movie with an interesting performance by Tom Berenger as a gruff and tough loner.

All it has going for it is Tom Berenger and a whole lot of atmosphere. Luckily, that's all it needs.

The writing here is routine, with superficial characters and plotting that isn't particularly exciting.
