A tit-for-tat "Sniper"-type thriller hasn't been done in a while. While "Seven Snipers" has some story issues, its taut progression, effective acting and great use of a single location allows it to rise over others of its ilk despite some story issues. This has to do with the three leads, in Radha Mitchell, Ioan Gruffudd and Tim Roth. While the main face off is between Mitchell and Roth, Gruffudd, plays Milk, a compadre of Mitchell's character Hewndricks and bridges the gap for Mitchell's daughter Anja (Annabelle Wolfe).

Instead of creating a more grounded structure, the film realizes itself more with abstract imagery and flashbacks per se with some CG enhancements (whose indications are unclear at best).
