A movie that would not have been out of place in the run of paranoid-political thrillers of the 1970s, Shooter works an entertaining variation on the assassination picture. Mark Wahlberg, carrying over good mojo from The Departed, slides neatly into the character of Bob Lee Swagger, master marksman. Swagger has retreated from his duty as an off-the-books hired gun for the military, having become disillusioned with his government (switching on his TV at his remote mountain cabin, he mutters, "Let's see what kind of lies they're trying to sell us today."). Ah, but the government needs Swagger to scope out the location of a rumored attempt on the life of the president, so a shadowy government operative (Danny Glover) begs Swagger to use his sniper's skills to out-fox the assassin. From there--well, spoilers are not fair, since the movie has a few legitimate shocks and a very nice wrong-man scenario about to unfold. A novel by the Washington Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic Stephen Hunter gives the movie a logical spine, even if the premise itself is the stuff of conspiracy theorists. Wahlberg gets support from Michael Pena, as a skeptical FBI agent; Kate Mara, as a trustworthy widow; and Ned Beatty, trailing along memories of Network, as a supremely cynical Senator. Along with the well-executed action sequences (the previously unreliable director Antoine Fuqua gets it in gear here), the movie includes a few potshots at the Bush administration. No, that doesn't put Shooter at the level of The Parallax View or All the President's Men, but it provides some tang along with the flying bullets. --Robert Horton Beyond Shooter

Product Description
Paramount Shooter (Blu-ray)
Get ready for edge-of-your-seat thrills as Mark Wahlberg ignites the screen in his most compelling role yet: the "Shooter." When respected former Marine scout sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Wahlberg) is pressed into service to stop an assassination attempt against the President, the unthinkable occurs: he's double-crossed and framed for the attempt. Determined to prove his innocence,the rogue shooter is now in a high-tension race from every law enforcement agency in the country and a shadowy organization that wants him dead. From"Training Day" director Antoine Fuqua comes a gripping film co-starring Danny Glover ("Lethal Weapon 4") and Michael Pena ("World Trade Center"). Joel Siegel of Good Morning America proclaims that "'Shooter' is a thriller ...with a ton of white-knuckle action.".

 Amazing Adventure Political Thriller August 28, 2008
barry (Boston, MA United States)

This is a great film. Mark Wahlberg is always reliable for turning in a quality performance so sometimes he can be taken for granted. Remember how he shocked everyone with his excellent performance in Boogie Nights? Well here he possesses an amazingly strong constant presence that never lets up. He is an action adventure superstar.
The simple basis of the plot is that he is a shooter for the war/government in retirement and is called upon to undertake a special mission. That is all I will say for nothing else about this movie is simple.
The movie is a high octave full force action thriller and the action sequences are amazing lighting up the screen. There is graphic violence but it is very well executed and fits the format of the film. It is not gratuitous. The film is also a thriller with a strong political edge. How all this mixes together so expertly is due to the true craftsmen who have put this film together. And Wahlberg allows the strong esemble cast to shine and does not try to steal the show even though it is totally his.
This movie literally blew me away. I really did love it. It is over 2 hours in length and the time flew by with action and shocks and plot twist too many to mention. Highly recommend.

If you liked Mark Wahlberg in the Bourne movies, you will most likely enjoy this movie. It is action packed and movies quickly except for a few preachy moments at the end. As a person who has enjoyed long range target shooting and am familiar with the Barret 50 Cal capabilities, I know that the shots in this film were all realistic.
Who Doesn't Love Mark Wahlberg!? August 7, 2008
Alyse Marie (Shanghai, China)
I have never seen a sniper movie before, and was pleasantly surprised by this one. I may not have any experience with snipers or any type of guns or warfare, but I have in fact, watched a lot of movies. You get plenty of action, minimal love story (I don't like a lot of romance in my action movies), up to bar acting, and a solid plot.
The main character, Bob Lee Swagger (Wahlberg) is a former military sniper who gets caught up (more like used) in an assassination. Swagger, initially asked to make sure the President would be safe from an attack, ends up being set up for the assassination "attempt" that takes place. So it begins, intense chases, exciting shootouts, well planned set ups, and on-target sniper shooting. I won't go into the plot any further; especially since you have 200+ people I see who have laid it all out for you already. I will offer my review though, and I think this movie is worth a go, and eight dollars is not a bad price!
