Sniper: Ghost Shooter starts with Brandon hesitating to shoot a reluctant ISIS child soldier in the head, which he feels guilty about. Then, he and his team go off to the nation of Georgia to protect a gas pipeline from terrorists. While the snipers are providing cover for an oil tycoon who's on his way to a meeting with local leaders, they're attacked by a "ghost sniper," who somehow knows their coordinates. Brandon gets exiled to the Caucasus Mountains for questioning the mission and speculating that there's a mole in the outfit. In order to get back in the Marines' good graces, Brandon has to find proof of who the mole is, which will reveal how the "ghost sniper" found their positions. It's all building to a final showdown, where the traitor is exposed and a lot of faceless bad guys get shot from very far away.
The film is an unpretentious action thriller that delivers on explosions, gun fights, and bloody deaths. It's pretty fun if you're in the mood to watch a film that's heavy on the action. As long as you don't expect too much in the way of realism, thoughtful exploration of the role of the American military in the global economy, or characters with a ton of depth, it's the perfect sort of Netflix action movie that's entertaining enough to not turn off.
