YMMV / Sniper Assassin

Go To

  • Anti-Climax Boss: Before you even get the chance to finally confront Mr. J, his subordinate, Lee, shoots him unceremoniously, and you have to confront Lee instead.
  • Complete Monster: The heads of FFG Corporation are drug dealers who don't have any regard for their fellow criminals or civilians:
    • Mr. Johnson is the CEO of FFG Corp., a textile manufacturing front for a drug operation. When Johnson catches wind of the fact that the assassin Shawn Davidson has been recruited to take down his organization, he has infiltrators mislead Shawn's agency before having Shawn's wife murdered with her corpse put on display. In order to protect himself, and gain the upper hand on Shawn, Johnson infiltrates Shawn's agency under a false identity, and when he is captured by Shawn, claims he was forced to help Mr. Johnson to protect his family, when in fact he paid someone to stalk a random family. Subsequently, Johnson, still pretending to be his own subordinate, manipulates Shawn into killing some of his subordinates, including some who are disloyal to him, even tricking Shawn into torturing a subordinate who reveals Johnson's ruse after Johnson escapes. Johnson leaves a note taunting Shawn, mockingly congratulating the latter for helping him.
    • Mr. J, real given name Jacob, is Johnson's subordinate turned successor, having exploited Johnson's death in order to take over FFG. J is introduced off screen, revealing that, while Johnson did order Mrs. Davidson's murder, J actually carried it out. When Shawn's agency decides to try and take down FFG again, he has Agent Charlie captured as bait, letting his own men die at Shawn's hands while he and some of his other subordinates kill Shawn's supervisor and friend Ben, amongst other people at Shawn's agency. When Shawn and the agency continue to try and take FFG down, he leaves his men to be slaughtered in order to lay a trap for Shawn. When the trap fails, J bides his time, having his men try to kill Shawn, and new agency recruit Marco. Later, J taunts Shawn when the latter shows up at his mansion, before throwing a grenade and escaping, while his men try to neutralize law enforcement. J attempts to escape on foot, exploiting the civilian crowd running in the opposite direction as him, before expecting his subordinate to save him.
