    There were some good parts of the movie, but for being a suspicious and loner former soldier, he seemed a little too naive in the beginning of the film and out of character for what they portrayed as his conspiracy and paranoia level.

    There were also too many predictable moments. And the ending where he got revenge was also a little weak with the bad guys being pretty damn stupid.

    I wanted to like this movie more... but it is a struggle to even give it 3 stars.

    This is my favorite movie that Mark Wahlberg was in. He was the only one who could do the part and he pulled it off. So much shooting it made me think i was going to get shot, but i didn't. Anyways great movie i loved it, ill give it an A

    Started off OK but kept getting worse until it got rather pointless !! It dragged on and on, was really shallow, and they really went over the top with some parts specially the ending !!
    *SPOILER* Ridiculous, it seemed they almost couldn't come up with a better idea and thought well, what's better than letting the good guy shoot up all the bad guys !!! I mean what's more predictable ??? * END OF SPOILER*

    Still the action scenes weren't bad and Mark Wahlberg's acting was good..

    This is a terrific action thriller along the lines of the Bourne movies. Mark Wahlberg plays his character well. I also think Danny Glover was good.

    Eh. It was predictable and there is really nothing special about it. It's the whole "tough guy who loves his country and was trained to killed is now betrayed by that same country" act. It's not memorable in any way. There's not much plot to it either and whatever there is of it is really not worth the time. Wahlberg has much better movies than this and you're much better off watching the Bourne trilogy for some much, much better and slightly similar plot, not to mention better action and acting.

    Antoine Fuqua is one of my favorite current action directors, but here he has crafted a fairly typical action flick. He belongs to that class of directors whose bad films are better than most others best efforts. This is one of his "bad" ones. It's well detailed and competently acted, but I can't help but feel like I've seen this story many times before. The charecter development is just enough to advance the story where more would help. The action is top-notch, but uninspired. It's a good enough film to make me want ot see more from this director, but I could only reccomend it with reservations.

    I liked this movie; it's action packed. About an ex-recon sniper, drawn back in to consult on a potential presidential assassination. This movie was done well and had a lot of research done to pull it off; they did well. I liked this movie and would recommend it.

    If it wasn't for the sniper aspect of the movie, it might have gotten a lower rating. The movie isn't bad, its just typical. Shooter is simply a war revenge movie. Personally I'd rather watch Matt Damon getting revenge then Mark Wahlberg.

    I imagined that this Film would be like every other try hard consipracy Film, but, I was wrong. This is a standout Thriller compared to previous Films in the same genre/storyline.

    The stars Whalberg & Pena proved to be outstanding actors in this Film. Certainly stands as one of Mark Whalbergs finest Roles.

    Antoine Fuqua never ceases to amaze me with his directorial skills.

    Excellent film. As far as the directing goes, Fuqua did a tremendous job and that has earned him top ratings on my list.

    Wahlberg once again proved to be a serious actor and not just a pretty face. Pena is fairly new on my radar, however I've seen a few noticeable roles of his...with every Film he becomes a growing phenomena. Glover with braces and a lisps made his character the kind of villian you want to poke fun at and just laugh at to make them feel like a joke who wont suceed in his master plan. Koteas pissed me off. Beatty's role was short but definately not insignificant. Serbedzija is a great actor! I find he is very underrated however he brought the bad boy role into the film.

    Now to the belle's Mitra was more appealing in this film than any other role I've seen her play. Mara, now here is one to watch out for...She played Heath Ledger's eldest daughter in Brokeback Mountain. It didnt come as a surprise to me how easy it was for her to ease herself into the role of Sarah Fenn, it was a simple role, however a step above her previous roles. She did a fab job.

    Even my Father gave this flim a bold 5 star rating and he is a tough critic.

    I really enjoy watching action/conspiracy thrillers and this is definately one to watch again (if only my father would give me back my DVD)

    Saw it once, cant say I remember anything memorable about it and thought to myself it was really cliche.
    I'd see it again, but it would take time away from me moving my bowels.

    Wow. Intense. Bob Lee Swagger is a really SMART character and this movie is pretty smart also. You really have to watch and listen carefully to understand the story completely - if you don't you are left questioning the whys.. I loved each action sequence and their outcomes, it was awesome :D.
    One guy takes out like a heap of men almost completely by himself and survives!- not as far-fetched as it sounds. He's just really that damn good!. Mark Wahlberg takes another fantastic performance, his acting was spot on! The first few scenes once he's on the run all the drama/action is just wow and later how he treats his wounds. He just keeps you interested in what's really going on. I've watched it twice now in two days ;)

    Kate Mara, I've only seen in one other film before but, she did her character justice. Another MARK WAHLBERG FAVOURITED MOVIE.

    Shoot. LOVED this! Reminds me of Bourne Identity, only heaps better. Kate Mara (after a brilliant performance in Brokeback) adds another to her roster.

    A smart political Thriller, with Mark "badass" wahlberg taking center stage. Its nice to see a movie where the lead takes care of buiesness and dosent stop till every single one of his advisaries are taking dirt naps. Awsome Sniper flick surpassing the tom berenger sniper movies.

    What I like about this movie is that they did their research. A bullet does arc and doesn't fly straight. Watch the special features part of the DVD and when they explain about what a bullet does, their right. They couldn't show what an actual 50 calibre rifle round does to a person, it blows shit off and apart. The impact, of the round, destroys the body and blows it apart; people would be freaked out. This movie was done well and I liked it.

    Take care all,
    William

    This is, after all, a movie. It is not a scientific documentary. Most of the scenes are believable and there is actually a plot to justify all the action. Anyone who is looking for another Hunt For Red October is probably not going to enjoy this picture. I thought it was great, however and also like slow moving detailed movies like HFRO.
