The Sniper

The Sniper (神鎗手, 2009) is a Hong Kong action thriller directed by Dante Lam — watch it online on iFILM. Richie Ren plays Ming, the police unit's top shot, carrying a reputation built over years that he'd prefer left unexamined. It gets examined anyway when his former partner Chin (Huang Xiaoming) walks out of prison.

Chin did time for accidentally killing a hostage and blames Ming for everything — the mistake, the arrest, the years lost. A rookie sharpshooter named OJ (Edison Chen) lands in the crossfire with his own unresolved history. Dante Lam keeps the film tight: the standoffs are geometry problems — angle, breath, trigger — not noise. Clean Hong Kong genre work, no wasted time. Stream The Sniper (2009) on iFILM.
