Great flick

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2007)

Always been a big fan of Stephen Hunter and this movie did not disappoint. The film moved with great action and visuals throughout. This is the first film I actually liked Mark Wahlberg in, and though I didn't think there was any chemistry between him and Kate Mara, it was superfluous to the movie itself. Don't wait for the DVD, the big screen added quite a bit to the visuals. I will say that if I had the option of picking the actor for Bobby Lee Swagger it would have been Tom Beringer. That being said Wahlberg was very believable as a ex-special forces guy. It is obvious he worked out quite a bit in the gym for the role. Danny Glover gets better and better as an actor. He plays the cynical government man to the tee. Somewhat unbelievable that a supposed Congressional Medal of Honor winner would be so sleazy but... whatever.
