- #Berringer. The movie starts playing, I believe, Feb. 24th. Look for it
- #at a theatre near you, and all that ...

- #One of the voiceovers during the ad said, "One shot, one kill" Hmm,

- Uhhh, that's *Tom* Berringer, not John. There was a short article on
- the movie in *International Military Review* last fall, and although it's
- been a while since I read it, I think they had a retired Marine sniper
- working as "technical" advisor on the movie. From the commercials I've seen
- for it, it looks as if they listened to him. . . .
- It's one of my "must sees".
