Review of Shooter (2007) by Brandon W — 21 Mar 2016

I came in blind with this movie and was only excited for this are that it's an action movie, and Mark Wahlberg is in it. Shooter is a good movie that could've been better with a rewrite. The acting is very solid, and the action sequences are fun.

The plot is just ridiculous and there's a lot of moments that don't make a lot of sense. The direction by Antoine Fuqua is really good, and the stealth scenes are nicely done. I didn't care much about the characters as I find them to be forgettable, and that the script didn't try hard for it to work.

I was very confused about what the villain's plan is, or why they set Wahlberg's character up, and if they did, then it was too vague for me to remember. As is, Shooter is going to be one of those films that I'm not gonna remember much about it, but I enjoyed Shooter for the time being.
