"Shooter" is an action/adventure/drama, involving top-secret government agencies and the lengths that they will go to to preserve their warped ideals. The movie is based on a novel called "Point Of Impact" by Stephen Hunter.
Bob Lee Swagger is a former Marine Corps sniper now living in isolation. One day, he is approached by a mysterious Colonel...who informs him that someone within the United States Government is plotting to assassinate the President. They need his expert opinion to figure out where the assassin will take his shot. Swagger reluctantly agrees...and becomes the fall guy in an intricate plot. On the run and pursued by both the real authorities and those who want him dead...can Swagger clear his name and bring those responsible to justice?
What sets "Shooter" apart from many other movies like it are a couple of factors. The cast does an excellent job. There are several incredible action sequences, including intricate battle scenes and a good car chase. As in most action movies, you are required to suspend belief in various points...but then again, you don't go to an action movie for realism. There is a good plot...which can be a rare thing for movies such as this. All in all, this is an enjoyable and fun movie...definitely worth a see!
Action by the truckload, a plot, and a great cast..."Shooter" hits the mark.
