I didn't hear anything about this movie at all when it was released in theaters. I finally saw a trailer on the official website but that was about a week before it came out on DVD (June 26th, 2007). I was so happy to finally see a trailer that showed what looked like a real sniper movie. I've seen...

There has long been a theory floating around that the U.S. government is control not by you and I, you know We The People, but by some un-named amorphous body. This body that answers to no one manipulates the reins of American power for their own enrichment of course and is all-powerful. Such is the...

More Distrust of the Government
Movie Reviewer, a storyteller

OCT

2007
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 they are... read full review »

Mark Wahlberg, Michael Pena and Danny Glover play in "Shooter" a movie with great camera work, a good original storyline and strong characters.

Plot:  To stop a presidential execution, Bob Lee Swagger, an ex-marine sharpshooter (Wahlberg) is asked to plan an assassination on the same man.  But who is hiring Swagger and for which reason?  To save or kill the president?  Framed by the government, only one guy believes he is innocent.

What I though:  Bob Lee Swagger is a very down to earth guy not like a typical sharpshooter is portrayed, or military man for that matter.  I thought Wahlberg did...

A good, entertaining action flick
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 rating.

This movie is a must see for all the action-thriller movie buffs out there. It has excellent on the "edge of your seat" action. 

 Its about a retired sniper that finds himself in the middle of a brutal assassation that he did not commit. He fights to beat the odds of his survival while trying to clear his name. 

Outstanding action and a great story line.  One of the best movies that i have seen in along time.

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 HDTV!

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.

This movie, "Shooter" was so awesome! I couldn't believe the action scenes started right from the start! Great movie to watch with your significant other! There are parts of this movie that both men and women will enjoy! Not to give this movie plot away, but it is about a man, who is a sniper for the US army and a specialist in his field. His partner, who has a girl back home waiting for him, gets killed in a fight seen and the government covers up their mission. After a couple of years he is asked to create a possible attack on the US president and then is framed for the killing of another countries... read full review »

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 was... read full review »

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!

The Shooter is an action packed movie that is a must see for everyone. It is filled with thrills from the first scene to the end of the film. Mark Wahlberg does a great job of playing his role of the disillusioned former soldier. You can almost feel his disgust when he finds out he has been set up once again. The supporting cast also adds to the intensity you feel  when you watch this film.

This movie was so much fun to watch.  It kept us riveted to the screen the whole time and was very intense!  I love the action, the story-line, and the characters involved.  Classic good vs. evil with a few twists.  Great ending and fabulous writing!
