Also in a less spoiler-ish fashion, the heroic sniper sent from God was a bit daft.

Sent from God? I know the sniper believed in God, but sent by God? I don't think the movie depicted him that way.

Yeah I'm probably over stating it. He was a bit gimicky, is perhaps what I mean. The point of the character was to show that being an awesome sniper who quotes from the bible like Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction was that killing was waaay cool. At least that's what I took from it, probably not what Spielberg intended ;-)
