Reading these reviews gives a pretty good barometer of just how bottom end heavy the IQ Bell curve has become. No need to rehash what a tired rehash and self consciously and badly written and acted this piece of drivel this is. Suffice to say the swashbuckling action hero's name is BOBBY LEE SWAGGER. This has to be an in joke. This thing is a steaming pile of dung colored cliches.

I've watched this movie at least 294 times While at work on doubletime. The movie gets better every time I see it. It literally stops people In their tracks to sit down and watch this fabulous movie.Southwest airlines Phoenix loves this movie.

Shooter is an epic action movie that stars Mark Wahlberg as a retired sniper who is brought back into the game after being exiled. Shooter is everything I wanted American Sniper to be. I was disappointed in American Sniper for being too by the book with the themes of psychological trauma and military action. This is everything I wanted from that movie and more.Some people may say that this movie is nothing new, a by the book action movie. It's kind of true but it's done so perfectly that you don't really notice. The action scenes are extremely well shot and really well done. They are diverse and there are many of them.The story was really engaging for me. Wahlberg is on the run after being framed for the assassination of an Archbishop. The movie starts out as a survival tale and then becomes a revenge story. Both tones are well done especially the gritty survival moments when Mark has the whole country's police department after him.The acting was pretty good. Mark Wahlberg was excellent and there really isn't much else to say.Shooter is how you do an action movie. Awesome action scenes, engaging story and great characters.

After being abandoned on a mission that didn't officially take place marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger resigns and makes a new life for himself in the remote mountains on Wyoming. Three years later he is approached again; intelligence has discovered a plot to assassinate the president using a highly skilled sniper; it will be Swagger's job to figure out how and where it will be done so the shooter can be caught and his backers identified… the problem is the people he is working for are setting him up to take the blame. Swagger manages to get away from the scene but is badly injured. He is now the most wanted man in America and he is determined to find out who framed him and why. The only people on his side appear to be Sarah Fenn, the wife of his former partner, and Nick Memphis, a rookie FBI agent.This movie gets off to a fine start with its effective prologue before getting into the main story. Then after an efficient set up the action starts and seldom lets up for too long. Mark Wahlberg carries the film in the role of Swagger; he is believable in the role. Swagger is a great lead character as he isn't too invulnerable; he gets shot and has to deal with the consequences. Michael Peña also impresses as Memphis; playing him in a way that isn't stereotypical for this genre. Danny Glover is solid enough as the chief bad guy Colonel Isaac Johnson and Kate Mara is good in the role of Sarah. The action is exciting; mostly it involves shootings, not surprising given the film's title, but there are also explosions and some fights. While there is inevitably some blood the gore isn't excessive. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the action genre and those who enjoy a good conspiracy.
