The Shooter is completely engrossing and totally fun from beginning to end. Mark Whalberg stars as Bob Lee Swagger, a retired Marine sniper who after losing his best friend and spotter disappears from... site, to live out his days alone in seclusion. ten years later he is approached by Colonel Issac Johnson who asks him to use his knowledge to stop an assassination attempt on the president. And that's where the story explodes into a take no prisoners thriller that will have your pulse racing. and your adrenaline pumping hard all the way to end. I very highly recommend this movie. I hope my review helps~ C.R. Lopez Full Review

The Shooter is one of the best movies I've ever seen. So good in fact, I'll be watching it again tonight. Mark Walberg needless to say was off the hook, not to mention sexy as all get out. This thril... ler was action packed from start to finish. Hats off the the director. I'm off to purchase the book. Full Review

Shooter does what any good thriller should accomplish - it thrills. It's fast-paced, energetic, and doesn't follow a path that seems pre-ordained from the beginning.Full Review

It's a story that can be transplanted from genre to genre, because we never grow tired of it, which is to say that it fits snugly into the paranoid drift of American movies, and the value we place on one honest man with a gun.Full Review

Carrying Shooter through its difficulties is, finally, not its crisp action sequences and definitely not the torture. It's Wahlberg's performance, which is the film's most old-fashioned element, and its best.Full Review

If the movie only lavished as much thought and care on its characters as it does on each intricate set piece, Shooter might have been a classic.Full Review
