You don't understand, they killed his dog!

Rating: 7/10 (29 July 2007)

All these other people commenting on IMDb missed the whole point. It's not about the rightness of it, justice or hurt feelings... this is about a guy's dog. You kill my cat and I'll come after you, guns blazing.
Other than that, very impressive shootings, but in a rather naive and cardboard setting. You know the type: bad is bad, good is good and lots of bad people die, while the good guy slips through hails of bullets. I would really love a true sniper movie, but alas, I don't think snipers are into movies much, so everybody guesses. To see a whole villa not exploding from a simple burst gas line would be good, too.
Anyway, the movie is exactly what it says it is: it's about a shooter. He does the shooting all movie long, then the film ends. I like Mark Wahlberg, I think he has proved his worth as an actor, he just needs better roles. Bottom line: average, yet not disappointing movie.
