Shooter (2007)

[Movie 34 / Day 19]


Mark Wahlberg plays a retired sniper who is asked to step up for his country one last time. Unfortunately, he's being set-up. Obviously, this double-cross doesn't quite work out as planned and the rest of the movie is spent following Wahlberg as he shoots his way to justice.

It's an enjoyable, switch-yer-head-off movie. Don't think about the plot holes too much, or whether it's realistic or not; just enjoy the ride. It's an action film and that's it.

I'm not sure whether it was the compression Sky use on their channels or not, but Danny Glover's voice in it sounded terrible. His character does lisp, but it sounded like my centre speaker had a hole in it at times. Odd.

My rating: 7.2 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.2 / 10
Running time: 124 mins
