Shooter

Rated R

2 hours 4 minutes

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Michael Peña, Danny Glover

Mark Wahlberg is one of my favorite actors and he didn’t disappoint in this movie. Shooter came out in 2007 - not sure why I’m just now watching it, but am glad I did. Very good movie with a good storyline and great actors. Mark Wahlberg plays Bob Lee Swagger, an ex Marine. He’s not just any marine, but a top notch marksman - a sniper whose skills are unmatched.  He’s living in exile after losing his best friend until a colonel asks for his help. The President of the United States might be assassinated in the next couple of weeks. They need his special skills to prevent this from happening. Well, all is not what it seems and he finds out he’s just been set up as the one who fired the shot at the president. From there the movie is on the run! How do you stop a marine who’s out to clear his name and how high up do the dirty politicians go? Lots of action. Lots of payback. And with Mark Wahlberg doing what he does best... you can’t go wrong.
