Good job, Wahlberg!
I watched this movie because I heard so much good things about it. I have to say, this is definitely a movie that is worth watching.
Shooter is great action thriller about an honorable ex-marine marksman, Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg), who finds himself in a situation that none of us would like to be in. He is framed to be the assassin who killed the president of United States. He desides to prove his innocence. So, he starts this one-man-mission that even John McClane would be astonished.
If you are seeking an action movie with an interesting plot and great cast, this is a good choise. Mark Wahlberg does phenomenal job.

Shooter
Nothing special. I mean the poor boy can't act most of the time. I didn't hate it but it didn't really offer anything new or exciting in any way.
