"Although "Shooter" isn't going to win any awards, it was surprisingly entertaining. This is a standard mindless action/thriller movie, but it is done well. I went into the film with negative expectations, not being a big fan of Marky Mark Walhberg( I much prefer his older brother Donnie). The younger Walhberg acquits himself nicely, it certainly helps that he doesn't have a ton of dialog. The characters are likeable, and it was nice to see Danny Glover in a movie again. The movie is fast paced and keeps your attention. Of course there is a lot of suspension of disbelief, but you will have that with any action movie. If you are not a fan of the action/thriller genre, this is probably not your cup of tea. But if you occasionally enjoy a good blow 'em up shoot 'em up movie there are worse ways to spend 2 hours. Over all I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed watching this movie. "
