4.0 out of 5 stars Edge of your seat thriller, May 28, 2008
By Tracy Vest (Northern California) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Shooter (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)
After a mission gone awry, Marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) now leads a solitary existence in the mountains of Wyoming. When he is called back to assist a covert military group (headed by Danny Glover) in determining how to pull off an assasination attempt, he soon discovers that he's been set up in an elaborate ruse to take the fall. Hell hath no fury like a Marine scorned, and Swagger becomes a PO'ed two-man army (once he hooks up with disgraced FBI agent Michael Pena), determined to bring the real culprits to justice. Directd by Antoine Fuqua ("Training Day"), this high octane conspiracy thriller just doesn't let up and will keep the viewer guessing. Though it's pretty violent - it's well worth watching!

My only drawback was having to hear Glover's dialogue - was it me or did he have some really ill-fitting dentures that provided him with the most annoying lisp. I was just waiting for them to fall out. Overall though, Glover has not given a more chilling performance since "Witness," and Wahlberg who can also be pretty menacing, proves to be a great action hero.

The DVD extras include a great behind the scenes segment featuring the technical advisor, himself a former military sniper, who provides insight into that occupation as well as the weapons used in the movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars worth watching, September 9, 2007
This review is from: Shooter (Video On Demand)
Well at first the premise of the movie didn't really interest me. I thought it looked like your typical Army movie with just a lot of blood shed and a boring plot. In actuality it is Bourne Ultimatum starring Mark Walhberg instead of Matt Damon. Government conspiracies abound and they all relate back to "guy works for government and guy gets set up" and that is what this is. A former army shooter who is contracted to teach the FBI how to kill the president so they can stop it, when in reality they are framing him. Luckily he has one FBI agent who believes him and the two of them team up to take on the U.S. government together. Decent flick, something to do for .99 cents.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre, June 14, 2007
This review is from: Shooter (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)
In Shooter, Mark Wahlberg, a highly-trained Marine sniper, is set up by the CIA. Hired to do reconnaissance, he unwittingly falls for the trap sprung by Danny Glover and his agency henchmen. Through sheer perseverance and with the help of his best friend's ex-fiancee, he survives and lives to seek revenge. Eventually, viewers learn that the assassinated Ethiopian cleric was going to reveal the massacre of innocent people in his country by American oil interests.

Shooter suffers because it offers nothing new. It did not up the ante in terms of special effects. The scenarios were rather trite, and the action sequences were lackluster. With an open-ended finale, the viewer receives the impression that the filmmakers seemed to be torn by ambiguity. On the one hand, Wahlberg kills Glover and his corrupt government friends. However, the interests responsible for the massacre and others like it are then left relatively unscathed. Put another way, the movie appears to be hinting at the absurdity of life, but also suggests that a single person can make a difference.
