Movie Review: Shooter

Friday, May 28, 2010
Synopsis: Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg), a former Marine Corps sniper who leaves the military after a mission goes bad. After he is reluctantly pressed back into service, Swagger is double-crossed again. With two bullets in him and the subject of a nationwide manhunt, Swagger begins his revenge, which will take down the most powerful people in the country.

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Kate Mara, Michael Pena, Rhona Mitra, Danny Glover
Directed by: Antoine Fuqua
U.S. Rating: R

Shooter, another great action/thriller film with Mark Wahlberg.

Shooter is the story about Bob Swagger, an ex marine sniper who's been recruited to provide professional assistance to protect the president from an imminent threat of assasination. Once he's provided his advises and warnings, he discovers that he's been framed on the assasination of a foreign president in American soil.

He manages the situation and escapes from his enemies. The FBI, Secret Service, Police Departments and other inteligence and police forces try to hunt him down while he's trying to recover from being shot and finding the time and space to be able to find the truth and take the responsibles down to justice.

A really good action thriller that beings the perfect combination of a great cast, combined with a really good script and great direction. Even though it is yet another special-forces/hero films, Shooter brings a different perspective and freshness with the great performance of Mark Wahlberg and Michael Pena.

Totally recommended!
