“Sniper: Rogue Mission” (*1/2 out of four) was a leaden action thriller about CIA sniper Brandon Beckett (Chad Michael Collins) who goes rogue in an attempt to uncover a deadly international conspiracy within the government and turns back to his former allies (Ryan Robbins and Sayaka Akimoto) to stay alive. Umpteenth entry in this endless series is more tongue-in-cheek and light-hearted than previous ones but it’s still a pile of empty hardware. Dennis Haysbert does his best to enliven things in a minor supporting role but Collins makes Tom Berenger or Billy Zane look like Humphrey Bogart by comparison.
