 Rating:  - You're on target to lose 125 minutes of your life.Rented this to counter-balance wife's choice of "What Happens in Vegas" (that was better than expected). That the people who produced this "hit piece" were going to ignore facts and try to brow beat you into believing their "anti-America, anti-Republican" message. SPOILERS: It begins with a sniper team (supposedly Marines) covering an extraction team. The spotter takes the time to gaze at a picture of his cute wife and ponder the ethics and purpose of their mission while they literally chew their cud. The action starts with Mark Wahlberg knocking off targets with casual ease but when a larger force "appears" they call for backup; especially when the bad guys manage to set up mortars ranged onto their position instantaneously. At the Army base, some civilian pulls the plug on the supposedly covert operation by saying that they will get out on their own and to break camp immediately. The spotter gets gunned down by a helicopter (Why are they always making runs rather than hovering?) Oh whoa is "Swagger" (why not just name the character Johnny Bigc*ck?). Suddenly it's three years later and Swagger has hair longer than my mother, living in the rugged Northwest. Danny Glover sets him up by telling him that he alone can help them counteract a threat against the president in a manner that'll leave your four year old scratching their head. Swagger is referred to as a Sgt., SSgt. and a Gunny, throughout the film; supposedly he "retired" right after he got back to the States. WTF? The movie quickly ...

Mark Wahlberg is always reliable for turning in a quality performance so sometimes he can be taken for granted. Remember how he shocked everyone with his excellent performance in Boogie Nights? Well here he possesses an amazingly strong constant presence that never lets up. He is an action adventure superstar. The simple basis of the plot is that he is a shooter for the war/government in retirement and is called upon to undertake a special mission. That is all I will say for nothing else about this movie is simple. The movie is a high octave full force action thriller and the action sequences are amazing lighting up the screen. There is graphic violence but it is very well executed and fits the format of the film. It is not gratuitous. The film is also a thriller with a strong political edge. How all this mixes together so expertly is due to the true craftsmen who have put this film together. And Wahlberg allows the strong esemble cast to shine and does not try to steal the show even though it is totally his. This movie literally blew me away. I really did love it. It is over 2 hours in length and the time flew by with action and shocks and plot twist too many to mention. Highly recommend. Rating: - If you liked Mark Wahlberg in the Bourne Films, You will like this movieIf you liked Mark Wahlberg in the Bourne movies, you will most likely enjoy this movie. It is action packed and movies quickly except for a few preachy moments at the end. As a person who has enjoyed long range target shooting and am familiar with the Barret 50 Cal capabilities, I know that the shots in this film were all realistic. Rating: - Hollywoodimess Turkeyanus"The Shooter" is a movie obviously intended for 15 y.o. schoolboys and Michael Moore/Oliver Stone aficionados. It is truly the worst movie that I've seen in some time. It relies entirely on old Hollywood standbys--fatal wounds that the hero recovers from; car chase scenes; heroes that never miss; bad guys who always miss; sinister government plots; sinister FBI characters etc. It's an Oliver Stone film on crack. There are echoes of "JFK" i.e. the three guys on the grassy knoll are buried in Terlingua. "Hey, I've still got the shovel!" There are even echoes of the Ruby Ridge massacre. Our 'hero' is living way out in the woods. The FBI shoots his dog. Man, man, man, really original stuff. The plot is far too complex, far too complex to follow, but, not to worry, the director explains it in the end. The government killed 400 villagers in Ethiopia so that an oil pipeline could go through [get that, folks, evil oil]. Now we don't quite know why they were killed but apparently it's so other villagers will get the message and just get up and move away. Logical. Our hero and his shooter friend, shoot Ethiopian retaliation forces but of this I was never clear. Maybe they were they were shooting the bad guys who did the village murders and our hero, in turn, murders them as a cover-up. Not to worry. Our hero doesn't know who he's shooting, either, and, the government, rather than extract or heroes, shoots them up with a helicopter and his friend is killed. Of course, as we ...
