Shooter review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/27/11
Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg), a retired USMC Force Recon Gunnery Sergeant and Scout Sniper, is framed for assassinating an Ethiopian archbishop. Sarah Fenn (Kate Mara) helps Swagger by tending to his gun wounds. Sarah is abducted by Col. Johnson’s right hand Jack Payne (Elias Koteas). The political angle was sometimes more focused than the plot and acting. It had a few engaging scenes but overall it lacks the intellect and realism. Shooter is a decent action film whose parts are better than the whole.
