A filling action movie.

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2007)

Shooter seems to come across as a light, no brainer time pass action movie which we see the market getting crowded with. But however that truly was not the reality of this movie as I pleasantly surprised. After his country screws him during a mission in Africa in which his close friend dies , Mr.Swagger (Walhberg) retires to live a life of solitude in the country however that peaceful silence is once again broken when his 'country men' need him only to screw him over again. It does not seem like much of a plot but the good thing is that it moves at a quick pace with action all the way through it and with no silly little sub-plots which bore the audience. Mark Walhberg seems to step into the shoes of an action movie star with considerable skill and I was very satisfied with his performance and Danny Glover also kept the movie rolling along nicely. To conclude Shooter is a welcome return to action movies from the likes of Commando and Die Hard , movies which no matter how many times you watch , you can never really get bored of. Any how I would recommend Shooter to anybody who enjoys a different kind of action movie, the script might not be as sharp as one could hope for but it kept me in my seat for 2 hours.
