On the lines of "Bourne" series

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 2010)

Strictly speaking "Shooter" was akin to the Bourne series minus the adrenaline. Had the pace and action were put in a higher gear, it would have qualified for the action film of the year.
Swagger, a sniper in the beginning of the plot, loner afterwards is framed for assassination attempt. The story progresses about him unravelling the conspiracy and coming out clean. The plot is quite intricate and layers get peeled as the story progresses.
Mark Walhberg was a perfect choice for the role of the sniper. Kate Mara though pretty had a badly sketched role, maybe straight out the book. Danny Glover gives a towering performance. The meek character of Michael Pena did not quite fit in.
