Rating: 7/10 (14 November 2017)

Shooter (2007) This is a conspiracy action thriller that follows a veteran who is framed for murder by a rogue secret private military unit. It is based on the novel Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter. The film stars Mark Wahlberg with Michael Peña, Danny Glover and Ned Beatty. It did moderately at the box office and got mixed reviews by critics. Some critics mentioned that its lack of plausibility took away from the film. This is a common error most critics make when reviewing movies. They forget what the film is supposed to be and the audience it is geared towards. This is first and foremost an action thriller. We are expected to suspend some beliefs. Compared to most films of the genre, I don't feel it did anything unreasonable. Hell, I've seen some stupid stuff in action films far worse than anything here. The film has done far better in the video market. It has even spawned a decent television show of the same name. It's a decent action flick with a touch of conspiracy.
