Shooter

Movie review and trailer.

Theatrical Release Date: March 23, 2007

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Michael Pena, Danny Glover, Kate Mara. Directed by Antoine Fuqua. A Paramount release.

Drama. Rating: R. Running time: 124 minutes.

An adaptation of Stephen Hunter's novel Point of Impact.

Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) is a former top Army sniper who left the military after being betrayed by his superiors. When government officials locate him at his mountain retreat, they coerce him back into service in order to help prevent an assassination attempt on the President. He soon discovers that things are not as he had been told.

This movie has a good suspenseful story, lots of excitement and some really bad guys. But its premise is not believable: it would seem that the government would have enough resources not to need a sniper to undo such a conspiracy.

Grade: B
