It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Rosie Searle
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Movie Review: "Shooter" (2007)Director Antoine Fuqua sends star-actor Mark Wahlberg, at age 35, on a rebounding retaliation mission to clear his name after a viscous assassination attempt on the anonymous-held U.S. President of the United States.

If you were given chance to be in defense, what post would have you opted for. For me without any doubt it would have been sniper. But I am not in defense for a few reasons. It stays clear that I like heroes in single as lead. For example if we consider animated universe I like spider man, superman, flash or anybody portrayed in single lead over a group. The movie is how a highly trained sniper is drawn into murder charges by high authority people and how he gains his revenge. The genre is thriller, best of its kind, It is a must watch.rating: 8.5/10.

Since I've read all of the novels with the leading character, Bob Lee Swagger, I really don't know how, where and which this film had adapted from Stephen Hunter's novels. If just followed what the film's storyline, script, scenarios and the plot twists, it simply looked more like James Thayer's "White Star".I strongly believed that the screenwriter(s) had goofed the hero's name from Stephen Hunter's novels, but 80% of it was actually stolen and extracted from James Thayer's novel instead. I do think that this movie's product people should pay him 80% of the movie right fee and 10% to Hunter to borrow the more widely known character's name.This movie is not bad but the scenarios and the twists simply not quite possible and highly unlikely to ring true. Directing, acting and special effect are all pretty good.

After being abandoned on a mission that didn't officially take place marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger resigns and makes a new life for himself in the remote mountains on Wyoming. Three years later he is approached again; intelligence has discovered a plot to assassinate the president using a highly skilled sniper; it will be Swagger's job to figure out how and where it will be done so the shooter can be caught and his backers identified… the problem is the people he is working for are setting him up to take the blame. Swagger manages to get away from the scene but is badly injured. He is now the most wanted man in America and he is determined to find out who framed him and why. The only people on his side appear to be Sarah Fenn, the wife of his former partner, and Nick Memphis, a rookie FBI agent.This movie gets off to a fine start with its effective prologue before getting into the main story. Then after an efficient set up the action starts and seldom lets up for too long. Mark Wahlberg carries the film in the role of Swagger; he is believable in the role. Swagger is a great lead character as he isn't too invulnerable; he gets shot and has to deal with the consequences. Michael Peña also impresses as Memphis; playing him in a way that isn't stereotypical for this genre. Danny Glover is solid enough as the chief bad guy Colonel Isaac Johnson and Kate Mara is good in the role of Sarah. The action is exciting; mostly it involves shootings, not surprising given the film's title, but there are also explosions and some fights. While there is inevitably some blood the gore isn't excessive. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to fans of the action genre and those who enjoy a good conspiracy.
