Shooter

I didn't really know much about this film going in to it so I didn't know what to expect. It turned out to be pretty entertaining. Wahlberg & Glover do a good job in their roles, the action scenes are done pretty well, the main drawback for me was that the whole plot seemed totally unbelievable. It just didn't seem plausible that such a massive & far reaching set up could be carried out without anyone but 1 rookie FBI agent raising an eyebrow.

If you can overlook the fact that this entire story is based on a situation that is extremely unlikely, then this film is pretty entertaining.

Presenting a universe with characters and a few messages was the point of the film? Well, I guess if that counts as a point, then yes, every film has a point because every movie presents a universe with characters and messages.

A bit more specific, I'd say the film's point was "Don't be a whore" but to me, that's kind of a stupid point to base a film around. I was not entertained by it all, although like I mentioned, the acting was spot on.

Bug. 05/10

Has some really nice effects, good atmospheric build-up. The trouble starts midway when it slips down so bad it doesnt get up till the end credits.

Could have been better...much better. But it isnt.

Watch it if you have absolutely nothing else to do. Otherwise, dont bother.
