Shooter Review by Bradley Graves


Shooter Review


I want to firstly take note to the people have been reading our page thanks for viewing and hope you have enjoyed our groups reviews. Okay to business! This week I’m reviewing Shooter which starts Mark Walhberg as Marine scout sniper Bob Lee Swagger to stop an assassination attempt against the President of the United States of America. Shooter was directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day).


It all starts off with our hero Swagger on a covert mission with his partner in camouflage picking off targets but after being screwed by the military the mission goes south and they are left to survive in Ethiopian mountains by themself with no support. Years later is found in the mountains alone with his dog until he is reached by Colonel Johnston who is played by Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon Movies), who asks for his help into trying to stop an assassination attempt on the President. Now being one of the best snipers he is picked for the task of “how would you do it” what he doesn’t know is that this is a set up which has been planned.



Determined to prove his innocence Swagger (Wahlberg), is pretty much on his own against all the law enforcement agencies in the country, but there are people in the shadows, faceless people who want him dead. Swagger does have some help a rookie out of training FBI agent Nick Memphis portrayed by (Michael Pena) and his best friend’s widow Sarah Fenn played by (Kate Mara). They start to help Swagger by trying to help and unveil the truth behind this set up.


While they are trying to help Swagger, they are also putting their life on the line, with agencies and these organisations that work in the dark are looking for any sort of connection to Swagger so they can use it to lure him out into the open. There is a great scene where Sarah has to defend for herself in her house hold which is a tense scene, she does show a lot of fight. 



Shooter an immensely satisfying movie it delivers each and every minute of the movie. The action is impressive like military weaponry, tactics, explosions, and those super intense sniper scenes will have you on the edge guessing who is who? Shooter is action movie with modern day conspiracy faceless people controlling key figures in government to get their ways. This movie has a solid direction and is easily enjoyable for the people who enjoy action movies and conspiracies.  



Rating 4/5
