Shoot to kill, in another great Whalberg, action vehicle

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2013)

Here's one of those very intense and exciting action pics that never bores. With a top line story and Wahlberg in top form, we get what we're after here. Gun for hire, again playing the vulnerable, ex marine (Wahlberg), the best shooter in the business, is asked to shoot the President, using blanks, when several threats have been made towards him. Only Wahlberg is framed, after a real shooter using a real bullet is used, and of course later, disposed of. The corrupt CIA have made a big mistake: Wahlberg has got away, so begins all the real action in effectively intense sequences in this solid action pic, it's lead up to it's ending, and Marky Mark's avengement is delicious fun, where of course he ends up with the beautiful girl. There are solid performances here that suit this solid actioner, one of the better action pics, that excels on all levels, and with our deadly Mark at the trigger, who you so much wanna see, win this, he's what makes shooter what it is.
