Director : Antoine Fuqua
Main Cast : Mark Wahlberg, Michael Pena, Danny Glover
Latest film from Fuqua (Training Day, King Arthur) about ex-Army sniper Wahlberg on the run after he was framed for attempting to assassinate the US President.
Enjoyable film, though a bit predictable and with gaping plot holes that you wouldn't miss with a bazooka from 10 miles. Wahlberg to me can't shake off his innocent/stupid/funny Marky Mark and Dirk Diggler look, and is not suited for Arnie and Stallone-like one-man-army action roles.
Shooter still thrills when it matters, and it's pure unadulterated sniper porn for the Counter Strike generation.
