        <title>Shooter — Action Movie Hits the Marky Mark</title>
        <link>http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/29/Shooter--Action-Movie-Hits-the-Marky-Mark.aspx</link>
        <description>Mark Wahlberg has tried to hit big as an action star and has failed mightily with the misguided PLANET OF THE APES remake and the plain silly FOUR BROTHERS. With SHOOTER, he finds the right combination that had previously missed the marky mark.

SHOOTER is adapted from the Stephen Hunter novel &amp;ldquo;Point of Impact.&amp;rdquo; In the film, Wahlberg plays Marine marksman Bob Lee Swagger. The opening sequence shows Swagger on a mission that will lead him to self-imposed exile. It is a covert operation in Africa that goes horribly wrong and ends with his spotter/buddy meeting a gruesome, bullet-riddled end. Once the buddy shows his pocket-sized picture of his sweetheart back home, he might as well hold up a sign that says &amp;ldquo;I&amp;rsquo;M ABOUT TO DIE!&amp;rdquo;

Three years after this, Swagger is recruited by a Col. Johnson (played generically by Danny Glover) to lend his expertise and help capture someone who has threatened to assassinate the president of the United States. Of course, Swagger is being set up as the patsy; in the ensuing escape, he stumbles over and disarms FBI agent Nick Memphis (Michael Pẽna). Separately, the two pursue the real perpetrators of the assassination attempt, and eventually their path re-cross and they team up for the last hour of the movie.</description>

            <description>Great action movie, but a bit too Rambo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swagger doesn't miss a shot. And Michael becomes an expert sniper with a few hours of training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite those minor issues, it's a great movie.&lt;br /&gt;Hot chick with lots of killing. Too tumbs up!</description>

            <description>This was one of the better action flicks of the year, but it wandered a bit in spots.  The action was really good i must say, Marky Mark does a hell of a job in this movie.  But, alas i don't see Agent Memphis getting his marksman pin that quick...lol.  From a former Marine here, I've shot a lot of guns and those by far are the hardest.   All in all it was quite a cool movie.   Two thumbs.</description>
