Amazing film

Rating: 10/10 (3 August 2008)

A very well written, stylistically directed and underrated rama about a marksman living in exile who is persuaded back into action by certain figures in government after being informed that there is a plan to kill the president. Mark Wahlberg shines here in the lead while Danny Glover and Michael Pena both give great supporting performances. I think this film did a great job doing a character study on the exiled sniper, Bob Lee Swagger, while still being highly entertaining. It has great cinematography from Peter Menzies Jr., nice editing from Conrad Buff and Eric Sears and a suitable score from Mark Mancina. I thought it was a very good production altogether, and look forward to purchasing this one on DVD. --- IMDb Rating: 7.2. mY Rating: 10/10
