Shooter
What is cooler than a sniper that can take a head shot from over a mile away. Mark “The Marksman” Wahlberg plays the more-brains-than-brawn “Rambo”/”Commando” type. This classic frame up story begins when government agents come knocking at the door of the reclusive ex-sniper. He retired after his last mission ended badly, but he is persuaded to give it one more patriotic try for his country. Of course, when the tables are turned on him, he goes on the run with hardly any help trying to prove his innocence and uncover his framers. He is a resourceful marine with “MacGyver” survival instincts. About the only important thing here is the thrill of the chase. The audience pretty much senses what is going to happen, but the fun is in witnessing how it happens. If you like conspiracy theories, covert government operations, and vigilante justice with bullets flying and big ball of fire explosions, you may enjoy this action thriller. Don't expect realism, just lots of shoot'em up fun.
Alien gives it 3 “hits dead center with a 1 ½ inch spread” stars out of 4.
