Reviews

ejstauffer I've watched this movie at least 294 times While at work on doubletime. The movie gets better every time I see it. It literally stops people In their tracks to sit down and watch this fabulous movie.Southwest airlines Phoenix loves this movie.

Jon_Snow_21 Shooter is an epic action movie that stars Mark Wahlberg as a retired sniper who is brought back into the game after being exiled. Shooter is everything I wanted American Sniper to be. I was disappointed in American Sniper for being too by the book with the themes of psychological trauma and military action. This is everything I wanted from that movie and more.Some people may say that this movie is nothing new, a by the book action movie. It's kind of true but it's done so perfectly that you don't really notice. The action scenes are extremely well shot and really well done. They are diverse and there are many of them.The story was really engaging for me. Wahlberg is on the run after being framed for the assassination of an Archbishop. The movie starts out as a survival tale and then becomes a revenge story. Both tones are well done especially the gritty survival moments when Mark has the whole country's police department after him.The acting was pretty good. Mark Wahlberg was excellent and there really isn't much else to say.Shooter is how you do an action movie. Awesome action scenes, engaging story and great characters.

BasicLogic Since I've read all of the novels with the leading character, Bob Lee Swagger, I really don't know how, where and which this film had adapted from Stephen Hunter's novels. If just followed what the film's storyline, script, scenarios and the plot twists, it simply looked more like James Thayer's "White Star".I strongly believed that the screenwriter(s) had goofed the hero's name from Stephen Hunter's novels, but 80% of it was actually stolen and extracted from James Thayer's novel instead. I do think that this movie's product people should pay him 80% of the movie right fee and 10% to Hunter to borrow the more widely known character's name.This movie is not bad but the scenarios and the twists simply not quite possible and highly unlikely to ring true. Directing, acting and special effect are all pretty good.

Tweekums After being abandoned on a mission that didn't officially take place marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger resigns and makes a new life for himself in the remote mountains on Wyoming. Three years later he is approached again; intelligence has discovered a plot to assassinate the president using a highly skilled sniper; it will be Swagger's job to figure out how and where it will be done so the shooter can be caught and his backers identified the problem is the people he is working for are setting him up to take the blame. Swagger manages to get away from the scene but is badly injured. He is now the most wanted man in America and he is determined to find out who framed him and why. The only people on his side appear to be Sarah Fenn, the wife of his former partner, and Nick Memphis, a rookie FBI agent.This movie gets off to a fine start with its effective prologue before getting into the main story. Then after an efficient set up the action starts and seldom lets up for too long. Mark Wahlberg carries the film in the role of Swagger; he is believable in the role. Swagger is a great lead character as he isn't too invulnerable; he gets shot and has to deal with the consequences. Michael Peña also impresses as Memphis; playing him in a way that isn't stereotypical for this genre. Danny Glover is solid enough as the chief bad guy Colonel Isaac Johnson and Kate Mara is good in the role of Sarah. The action is exciting; mostly it involves shootings, not surprising given the film's title, but there are also explosions and some fights. While there is inevitably some blood the gore isn't excessive. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the action genre and those who enjoy a good conspiracy.
