[ SYNOPSIS ]

When a crooked federal agent is involved in a human sex trafficking ring, Sniper and CIA Rookie Brandon Beckett (Chad Michael Collins) goes rogue, teaming up with his former allies Homeland Security Agent Zero (Ryan Robbins) and assassin Lady Death (Sayaka Akimoto) to uncover the corrupt agent and take down the criminal organization.

[ SPECIAL FEATURES ]

There are no special features. The Blu-ray only contains the movie.

[ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ]

A digital copy code voucher is included inside the standard one-disc blue Blu-ray case. There is no slipcover.

[ NOTES ]

A decent action flick, but as the NINTH film in the Sniper series, and the first one without Tom Berenger or Billy Zane, the well has run really dry at this point. Sayaka Akimoto, as assassin Lady Death, is really the only saving grace for me. Temper your expectations, and you might find some enjoyment in it. There are certainly worse ways to pass 95 minutes.

Sniper: Rogue Mission (2022) is available on Blu-ray and DVD. The earlier eight films are Sniper (1993), Sniper 2 (2002), Sniper 3 (2004), Sniper: Reloaded (2011), Sniper: Legacy (2014), Sniper: Ghost Shooter (2016), Sniper: Ultimate Kill (2017), and Sniper: Assassin's End (2020). (This last film is the only other one to feature the main cast of Chad Michael Collins as Brandon Beckett, Sayaka Akimoto as Lady Death, and Ryan Robbins as Zero.) There is no box set containing all nine films on Blu-ray. In fact, only four of the eight are available on Blu-ray: Sniper (1993), Sniper: Reloaded (2011), Sniper: Ultimate Kill (2017), and Sniper: Assassin's End (2020). The other films are only available on DVD, and if you buy those four Blu-rays (or at least the last two), plus the Rogue Mission Blu-ray, you can get the first six films (Sniper through Ghost Shooter) in the Sniper 6-Movie Collection 3-DVD set.
