"Shooter" hits the Mark

(Len)
The "Shooter" delivers with Accuracy.
Mark Wahlberg stars in this non-stop action/adventure, edge-of-your-seat story of a former Marine Sargent who retires from the service after a mission goes bad, only to be re-recruited a few years later as a consultant for the government on an assassination attempt. What unfolds after that, is a suspenseful series of events that make the movie's running time, fly by.(124 minutes)
Wahlberg is excellent in this role as he was in "The Departed". I have never been a "Marky Mark" fan, but Wahlberg has proven that he can be successful as an actor and not just as an underwear model for Calvin Klein.
The "Shooter" makes the audience care for the "rogue" characters. I found myself cheering when corrupt politicians in the movie, were left out of the sequel.(if you know what I mean, wink, wink)
I liked this movie very well. I give it 3.5 Stars.
Please drop in again next week, when we hope to bring you another installment of "Our 2-Cents Worth" at the movies.
