Sniper: Legacy

This week's most rewarding drama pick in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix and fuboTV is Sniper: Legacy. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 285 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Tom Berenger leads a cast that never overplays its hand. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Sniper: Legacy is worth clearing space for. Sniper: Legacy takes its time building the world its characters inhabit, and the patience pays off. A rogue gunman is assassinating high-ranking military officers one by one. When Gunnery Sgt. Brandon Beckett is informed his father, legendary shooter Thomas Beckett has been killed, Brandon springs into action to take out the perpetrator. Tom Berenger and Chad Michael Collins lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2014. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Sniper: Legacy is what you recommend to people who say they do not really watch much. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Tom Berenger is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.

Sniper: Legacy was released in 2014, directed by Don Michael Paul. The full 98-minute film is available to watch now.
