I watched this Wesley Snipes movie last night… And right from the horridiously cheesey opening credits, I knew it was going to be on the awful end of the scale. I continued watching in the hopes that it may be a candidate for MAAME, but not even The Daywalker (AKA Wesley Snipes) could make this movie awesome…

From the ridonkulous premise to thin (being extraordinarily kind with this word) plot line, I can’t for the life of me understand why this film ever got made! Why on earth Wesley Snipes decided to star in it is beyond me… Maybe he lost a bet, or, as the single reviewer on IMDB put it, maybe he was running out of money in 2005. Who knows?

So you want to know the premise? Come on, let’s have a good laugh:)

Basically a nuclear facility in Russia is taken over by Chechnyan rebels and because there are some American scientists working there, the American military has to sort the problem out before the rebels blow up the plant and kill thousands… Um… I’m sorry, but how is a plant possibly going nuclear on Russian soil a problem for Americans???

Another thing that made me chuckle is that Wesley Snipes’s character doesn’t get a name… He is merely known as The Painter – So why the hell is the movie called The Marksman???

Anyhoo, for more of a good laugh, have a look at the oopsies they made as listed by IMDB.
