The Shooter (Or Hidden Assassin) is a mid 90's Dolph film with a reasonable budget directed by Ted Kotcheff who also filmed First Blood. The film is not a straight ahead action film, more a political thriller filmed on location in Prague, which looks fantastic. A welcome addition to the cast is John Ashton of Beverley Hills Cop fame, and he is good in this, stealing every scene he is in. Action scenes when they come are well shot, and Dolph although stilted in some of the dialogue scenes is in commanding form when it it comes to the action set pieces. You have to give credit to Dolph for trying his hand at a more thriller style of action film and it pays off. He is helped by a strong supporting cast and a known director. This seems to be a little heard of film, and one which deserves to be more appreciated. I have seen it a few times and always enjoy it. If you come across this on TV or a streaming service, give it a go, you may be surprised by it.
