A good, entertaining action flick

an infrequent movie goer

MAR

2008

Mark Wahlberg plays an ex-Army sniper in Shooter (2007). Overall this was an interesting action flick (which I usually am not too into) with a fairly interesting plot. Wahlberg put in a solid performance as Bob Lee Swagger, a US Army vet that just wants to be left alone, but gets embroiled in an assassination plot. I didn't find the villans very convincing, but otherwise the plot and the main character's motivations were solid. I'd recommend this film for anyone looking to be entertained for a few hours, but in the end there just isn't enough to it to justify a higher rating.

I really liked this movie. I think Mark Wahlberg has really grown as an actor over the years. I think I've liked pretty much everything he's been in!
