I enjoyed Shooter. It is always nice when it is one-against-the-world, and the one comes through - even though it would be a fantasy.

Mark Wahlberg is quickly becoming my favorite action star with the release of Lone Survivor coming after this action thriller from 2007. He's become the new military hero; this film following in the vein of Rambo. The plot is actually carved straight out of a Rambo movie: Gratuitous violence is blended with a conspiracy story. Wahlberg's character, Bob Le Swagger is tricked by government officials into a mission that isn't what was advertised. The ensuing manhunt, displaying Swagger's skill, cunning, and real patriotism contrasts excellently with the conniving government men. Glover's and Beatty's characters are really sleazy and morally bankrupt. This aspect of the film is reminiscent of Harrison Ford's A Clear and Present Danger even more than Rambo. Critics have degraded this film as implausible and the cinematic equivalent of "special forces-style" pulp fiction, but I see it as undeniably entertaining. What were you expecting, Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal? Anyway, considering today's Osama Bin Laden-Benghazi type headlines, is it all that implausible? It's all about moral choices in the face of a completely corrupt system. Finally, I love that Wahlberg's character calls my home state Tennessee: "the patron state of shooting stuff", even though that grammar is atrocious.

Shooter is a well-crafted thriller that's intense and exciting. Former Special Forces marksman Bob Lee Swagger is setup to take the fall for an attempted presidential assassination, but when he escapes capture Swagger attempts to expose the conspiracy and tear it down. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Danny Glover, Michael Pena, and Rhona Mitra, the cast is quite strong. And, director Antoine Fuqua does an impressive job with the action sequences. Additionally, the storytelling's well-done and keeps the film moving at a steady pace while also building intrigue. Compelling and suspenseful, Shooter is an entertaining action film.
