Movie Reviewer, a storyteller
With all the movies out lately giving us reason to not trust our government, it ought to be making politicians straighten up and realize they've got some changes to make. Currently in theaters is Rendition, starring Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, about our own government shipping suspected terrorists out of the country to torture them so that it can be done off U.S. soil. Earlier this year another hating the Government film, Shooter, was in the theaters, and just recently it has been released on DVD. It certainly makes you wonder what's up with all the hate and if the things…

an infrequent movie goer
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…

comedy fan, DVD collector, into movies that tell a great story, Every day computer user, a woman, a busy person, college student, into action flicks
Oh my gosh, this movie was unbelievable! It kept me going the whole way through. Some of the scenes were so real, and there were some pretty cool twists and turns that made my jaw drop. There was non-stop action and suspense, it was awesome. This movie made me even more of a Mark Wahlberg fan than I was before. He is so amazing, especially when it comes to these action movies. I would love to see some kind of sequel to this, it was so great there almost has to be another one coming.…

Mark, Mark, Mark. That man get's more amazing everytime, and that movie could get ten stars from me any day. It was a long movie but it was worth it, and I enjoyed every minute of it. It will end up being an all time favorite in history forever, and I really love that movie. When I first seen the preview, I said I had to go see it, not would go see it, I had to go see it, and I did, and I'm glad I did. But those guns didn't scare me one bit, and the noise didn't either. It was exiting to watch, and while I was watching it, I kept wondering what is Mark going to do next. But bottom line, it…

Movie guru, character-lover
Some would think this is more of a movie that men only would get into, but the movie kept me interested all the way thru. I enjoyed his carachter, I enjoyed how he had lost faith in almost everything and turned his back on life, and I LOVED the scene where he has conversation with the old man. I am sorry, but I don't know the old gentleman's name. I felt the movie had action, a story, heart, and best of all MARKY MARK ! I like him as an actor and I think he is cute. — Men will love the sniper action! —…

a fan of clever plots, into action flicks, comedy fan
This movie had an excellent storyline, it was very captivating. Kept you on the edge of your seat. Good acting, made you really hate the bad guys and feel sorry for the good guy/girl. Justice was served in the end and like all movies ended happily (not like real life) but still very good. Worth watching and loved watching on my new…
