The Shooter (1995)

Synopsis: An American marshal flows to Prague in order to arrest a woman who is suspected of having killed a Cuban ambassador in New York, in connection with the negotiations for the reestablishment of diplomatic relations between Cuba and the U.S.A. He doesn't think the woman did it.

Appraisal: Very implausible action thriller, which relies on old clichés for most of its duration. There is only one sequence which rises above the general poorness: the car chase, and in particular the scene where the hero rides between two trams, then makes an about-turn and loses his persecutor.

Rating: 24
