Amazing (by thecrow22) |
I came into this film with loads of skepticism, but I came out feeling completely the opposite. Shooter takes you into the life of retired Marine Scout Sniper Bob Lee Swagger, who retired after a mission went completely wrong. He is called back to give information as to how someone would be able to kill the president from over a mile away. He ends up being framed for the attempted murder of the president, and the murder of an archbishop of Ethopia, and must prove his innocence, at any cost.Mark Wahlberg does a perfect job of portraying a detached veteran who has no respect for the government, <more> |
Very good at illustrating the systemic aspects of Imperialism (by hitchikingalaxy) |
I was quite skeptical at watching the film, and didn't even get around to watching it until just last night 5/13/08 , well over a year after it came out. What I saw was a pretty good political analysis as to what the major cover ups are and the cause of this Imperialist oil war.Yes, they do sprinkle a big ole plop of conspiracy theory, notably burying the snipers who did JFK in the desert. The line, "I still have the shovel" was quite amusing. Yes, the protagonist is a superman with the penchant for arriving in the nick of time and the ability to kill everyone. Chuck Norris <more> |
Shooter puts you in the shoes of a sniper (by the-movie-guy) |
My Synopsis Bob Lee Swagger Mark Wahlberg , a former Marine scout sniper who had the ability to hit a target from a mile away, leaves the Corps after a mission goes terribly wrong. Swagger has become a cynical American Marine who believes that he was betrayed by his country. What Swagger didn't know was that he was on a secret mission working for a black-ops government organization with their own agenda about what America really needs. Swagger is contacted by retired Colonel Isaac Johnson Danny Glover , who tells him that his country needs his special knowledge and expert skills as a <more> |
"Shooter" A Shot in the Dark (by frankwhat) |
I normally have mixed feelings toward Mark Wahlberg movies. Mainly because he's in some spectacular films, but I usually don't approve of his acting, which causes a paradox for me. This however was the first one that I thought he actually was suitable for. The end result was a production that I thoroughly enjoyed much more than I originally expected. I had heard beforehand the novel was simply amazing and while I'm sure the book is better as that is pretty much always the general rule, I don't think this translation will be too far below the high standards it <more> |
Government sniper is framed for murder, seeks revenge. (by mercywright) |
Feel-good, totally enjoyable buddy movie, starring Mark Wahlberg - fresh from Oscar nomination in "The Departed" - in title role, and Michael Peña as his plodding, but reliable FBI-sidekick. Timely government-is-evil scenario has room for laughs and some awesome action bits. Jack Bauer could learn a thing or two from Wahlberg's inventive shooter! Danny Glover, Elias Koteas and Ned Beatty are also good in powerful supporting parts. "The Shooter" is rich in character development, something that usually is sadly missing in action-movies, and this unexpected bonus helps <more> |
The best movie of its kind (by Will-Hare-89) |
Think about this:Mark Wahlberg. Long-range rifles. Explosives. Those three things can bring a smile to my face, and when they're all piled into the same two-hour ball of fury, it can even make me blush. Shooter is the kind of movie that starts you out by grabbing the bull by the horns and not letting go the entire time. In every sequence in the movie, something happens that'll make you turn to your friend and go "HOLY CRAP!". Unless you go to see it by yourself, in which case, you might need some friends. The premise of the movie is simple, yet sufficient: an ex-military <more> |
Recipe for a fantastic, intelligent action film (by Surecure) |
If you were to take the best parts of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series Patriot Games, Clear And Present Danger, Sum of All Fears and mixed in the best parts of the only good Rambo film First Blood you would end up with something akin to Shooter. Shooter is a smart, engaging and all out enjoyable action flick that never pulls its punches and always surprises you when you least expect it.Mark Whalberg plays the role of Bob Lee Swagger, a former military sniper who quit the army following a disastrous mission where his best friend and spotter is killed when they are left behind. Three years <more> |
Wahlberg may be next Bruce Willis (by jpanyard) |
Mark Wahlberg might be the Bruce Willis of the new generation. His taciturn Bobby Swagger is perfect. The action is basically nonstop and very gritty. Bobby is a sniper who has retired to the mountains after being screwed by the government in an event which finds his sidekick dead. After being set up, he is stone cold killer. Think Jason Bourne as someone who remembers his past is really p.o.'d about it. The acting is good all around, with Glover and Beatty as bad guys you love to hate. Underlying all this a morality tale about what this country and its government have become. Many <more> |
Still Invincible (by ThatMonkey) |
I was surprised in many ways by shooter. #1, I was surprised by the release. I follow movies and I didn't hear about this title until early this year. #2, I was amazed by Marks ability to sell me on his acting skills. #3, By the fact that the most established actors in this title, Ned and Danny may have given career killing performances. I think Tony Todd and Stephen Root would have been solid choices, but my guess is the two poor performances were bought for name recognition.To me this had Eastwood written all over it. At times I thought I was watching Line of Fire at others Unforgiven, <more> |
