Shooter

[S!X]

So who's seen this? Mark Wahlberg is a pretty good actor, and most if not all was filmed here in the BC :D The movie message it gives the viewers is, if you want things done, you gotta do it yourself :ph34r:

[S!X]

[Heroo]

[SpiderPig]

I fell asleep
but godammn i doubt any other movie contains as many "headshots"

Spoiler Warning for The Departed:
In The Departed, every major character (eventually) dies with a shot to the head. :whistling

Shooter was a great movie, perfected by the fun conspiracy plot and the great heart-thumbing acting by Mark. However, the ending wasn't that great..

Spoiler Warning..
I mean, why in hell didn't Swagger kill Johnson and the senator in the mountain, and flee in the helicopter with Nick. And plus, why didn't he make an extra copy of the tape? How the fuck did Swagger - a convicted killer - get a meeting with the ATTORNEY GENERAL with a SNIPER rifle and BULLETS? How in hell did Swagger not die with 2-3 piercing shots? How did Swagger get away from like 3 cops after the coffee shop meeting? How in Hell did Nick get access to FBI files after he was conspiring with a KILLER? etc...

7/10

It started out good but the latter part of the movie was just too predictable for me. While watching it, I kept thinking I've seen this sort of plot countless of times in other action flicks.

[ArchStanton]

I just watched The Shooter this weekend.

The plot is basically as follows: Marky Mark plays Bobby Lee Swagger a military sharpshooter who is betrayed numerous times and ends up going on a kill crazy rampage, which given the circumstances is entirely justified. It sort of reminded me of Rambo, the main difference being that First Blood is actually a lot more believable than this film (unlikely as that might seem).

I couldn’t understand why the organisation behind the assassination choose to set up a man who is not only capable of single handedly shooting down a helicopter but also resourceful enough to successfully slip out of a hostile country unnoticed after being left behind to fend for himself. Surely it would have been easier to choose a chump and then construct a convincing back story to ensure he was a believable suspect and frame him.

Something else I had a problem with was when the rookie FBI agent got too close to the truth. A bunch of masked men abducted him and forced him into an incredibly elaborate device that would have made it look like he had committed suicide. If they were prepared to go to that sort of trouble why did they give him such a savage beating? If they had succeeded and I was investigating his death, the injuries he sustained would make me suspect foul play.

Also, when Swagger takes the bait and goes after the man really responsible for the assassination (wheelchair-bound Michael Sandor) why don’t they just arrange for Sandor to blow Swagger up? Sandor kills himself anyway so how hard would it be to strap some explosives to his wheelchair and have him push the button – problem solved. Instead they send in a boatload of soldiers that inevitably fail to kill Swagger who then proceeds to escape with the help of the rookie FBI agent and some A-Team style ingenuity.

Summary

Number of helicopters successfully downed: Two.
Number of faceless henchmen killed: Countless.
Amount of screen time Marky Mark is shirtless: Approximately ten minutes.

4.5 out of 10

[hustler]

In my opinion 9/10. Great movie

[magdiali]

its good but not as good as the departed

[zeven0]

one of the best movies!!

[DV8type]

A bit too predictible but overall a pretty good movie. I was wanting to watch a action/suspense film and it kept me entertained.

[Demigod]

I don't know. To me, it seems like it was based on or at least inspired by the storyline of the Bourne movies.

[nathan14]

i thought the movie was ok. maybe because i'm not a fan of action movies but still was fun to watch. 6.5/10

[PabloEscobar]

Really great movie..Well balanced with a nice storyline and action
