Not great art, but great fun

Rating: 7/10 (23 March 2007)

An upbeat movie. Not great literature, not great art, but definitely great fun. It reminds me a bit of the Mel Gibson movie "Payback", but I like Mark Wahlberg a lot more than I like Mel Gibson. If you're a Wahlberg fan then this movie is a must-see.
In places the dialog made me wish I had my TiVo--I wanted to back up and listen to a line again to try to figure out what the character said. But then I remembered that the dialog didn't matter very much, and I relaxed again.
There was an episode of the TV show "Law and Order" that featured that same ultra-long-range sniper rifle. I guess Hollywood has one now.
