Shooter follows the life of Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) as he was a sharpshooter in the US military and then to his life in the mountains with his dog. Swagger is approached by a man claiming to be with the government who needs him to plan an assassination on the President because if he knows this information, he can help stop the one that has been plotted. He appeals to Swagger by calling out his patriotism. The rest of the movie follows Swagger as he tries to figure out when and where this plot will take place and how he can stop it from happening.
Without giving away the whole movie, lets just say, things go wrong and Swagger has to go on the run. The movie is filled with a lot of action scenes complete with explosions, gunfire, car chases, and much more. It is definitely a movie that guys would like, but take heart ladies, there is something for everyone. There is a sappy part in the movie that might even bring a tear to your eye!
The movie starts out with a slow scene as you fly over a wilderness area and quickly jumps into the action that doesn't let up until the end. The movie will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what comes next and it ends with a BANG! It reminds me of the Bourne movies and contains some great action scenes that are comparable.
I give Shooter a 4 out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone who has not seen it!
