Shooter (DVD) Reviews

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room Shooter is based on the novel Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter, and is a political thriller with few pretensions: it has plenty of action and is very much concerned with its thriller elements without making an overt political statement. Therefore it is quite a refreshing ...  Read the complete review

Although my dad rented Shooter when it was first released on DVD for some strange reason I didn't watch it and so when browsing through my local DVD shop I saw it on offer for such £4 I simply had to purchase it. My expectations of the film weren't particularly high due to the fact that my dad hadn't really enjoyed the film that much but because ...  Read the complete review

First of all - I didnt like this film. Yes I adore good shooting, I loved the snipers from Enemy at the Gates and Saving Private Ryan but Bobby Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) is way to much a caricature than a sniper. After being left to die during the mission in Ethiopia Bobby comes back home. Living in the woods with his dog he retired from ...  Read the complete review

The plot holes annoy me a lot. Lets start with the framing for the shooting. He hasn't fired a weapon and his weapon hadn't been used in the shooting. He'd have no Gun Shot Residue on his hands and the bullet used wouldn't match his rifle. I can relate to the people drawing similarities with this and First Blood because of the way he treats his ...  Read the complete review

Over the Easter weekend I had more free time to watch films and just relax. I only ended up watching a few but of the ones I did watch I did enjoy. The second film that weekend that I decided to watch was 'Shooter'. I had briefly heard of this in the past but I had not really ever thought about going to see it at the cinema as I never really heard ...  Read the complete review

Mark Wahlberg impressed me a lot in The Departed, until that film I had considered him an ok actor, good enough but not really a leading man in a major movie, let alone an action movie. His performance in that made Shooter a much more agreeable prospect. Shooter is a modern Arnie film, a mix of Raw Deal and Commando with a little bit ...  Read the complete review

The latest rent cheque crossed my sweaty palms. What should I do with this money? Should I invest it in buying my own house so that I could stop losing all my money to my landlord? Should I save up some money towards a holiday as my partner and I have never been away in 7 years together? Of course not, these suggestions are far too sensible ...  Read the complete review

The Plot Bob Lee Swagger is an ex-marine gunnery sergeant who after his best friend ...  Read the complete review
