Pathetic

Rating: 1/10 (7 July 2007)

What a waste of time. Its one of the only movies I've actually stopped watching halfway through. I picked it up again the next day, thinking that it would redeem itself in the second half, but no. It is a horrible excuse for a movie.
First, the plot is ridiculous. It seems like they tried to work in a complicated but interesting plot, but all they got was this tangled piece of bullshlt. It tries at being "deep" but fails horribly.
But whatever, its an action movie right? Gunfights and explosions. Shooter fails at that too. The action scenes are lame. The longest gunfight in the movie, towards the end, is filled with slow motion shots of the protagonist. But hes not doing anything. Just a shot of him, standing, holding a rifle, with the sunset behind him. It did this about 3 times during that scene. Nothing heroic or spectacular - he was actually killing innocent US troops.
The main cool action thing that the protagonist does is he shoots down helicopters. With a rifle. In painfully slow motion.
