The Sniper Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The film's message blaming society for the serial killer's actions was not well received by the public.
Unseen Films
Nathanael Hood
...a mixture of moody character study and dispassionate police procedural.
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
The Sniper is a taut, authentic-looking thriller about the search for a sexual psychopath. It is treated' honestIy. yet in good taste.
The Nation
Manny Farber
A smooth, technically astute, 100 per cent dull melodrama.
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
... straddles the studio model of storytelling and the immediacy of low-budget location shooting...
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
A straight but solid potboiler...
Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder
Nell Dodson Russell
The Sniper [is] a Stanley Kramer production that sets out to tackle the sex-maniac issue, and does with suspenseful realism although the psychiatric element is slopped over.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's absolutely terrified that its messages will pass by unnoticed.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a hit-and-miss drama that ultimately fares best when focused on Franz's compelling figure...
