Shooter (2007)

Netflix Synopsis: An expert marksman (Mark Wahlberg) is coaxed out of seclusion by colleagues who need his help in preventing a plot to kill the president. But he soon realizes he’s been set up when he’s framed for the assassination attempt. Can he elude the law long enough to bring the real culprits to justice? Danny Glover and Michael Peña (World Trade Center) co-star in this political thriller based on a novel by Stephen Hunter.

Review: This movie got quite a few not so favorable reviews. I felt it was an excellent addition to the action genre. This was a great movie filled with suspense, intrigue and a lot of edge of your seat moments. The ONLY aspect of this movie I could have done without was a romance that took place, but thankfully they didn’t spend too much time with that. Mark Wahlberg has proved himself a great actor and I hope his career continues to do well for years to come. As far as Shooter was concerned, it is definitely not an award winning movie, but if you are looking for an action packed story that is well written, you will not be disappointed with this one.
