Action? Not in the sense of Sly Stallone or even Die Hard, but still action nonetheless. Although I have never been even remotely close to a sniper rifle, or anything military, I have read extensively on the topic, and I have to say, it was as accurate as everything I've ever read. Down to the ghillie suit, cam cream, grenades and everything else. Although lacking a solid storyline, the tension is built up perfectly, and really portrays the role of an army sniper to the T. Great acting by Tom Berenger, although I wasn't too fond of Zane's character, or Zane himself. Thought he overacted a little, but that's just an opinion. All round good action movie.
