Here follows a review of Sniper 2 for your delectation.

Berenger is back in "Sniper 2" taking on an assassination mission in Eastern Europe unaware that his superiors have a secret agenda. The story is convoluted and messy and the screenplay doesn't help with events unfolding more as afterthoughts than as part of a coherent plan. During the run it's never quite clear who the bad guys are, what their cause is, and, most of all, why we should care. There's a babe in the flick for a heartbeat but no titillation; some sniper vs sniper action lacking the cat and mouse psychodynamics; and the usual pyrotechnics, fire fights, and stunts all seem token. Not as good at the original which was Razzie material anyway, this sequel is a minimal watch even for jarheads, action junkies, and Berenger fans.

Seems I wasn`t wrong, even in Spanish it was awful.
