good action movie

Shooter is a good action movie with good performances from Mark Wahlberg and Danny Glover. However, you can’t really escape the feeling that Shooter is just a wannabe Bourne Identity and Wahlberg’s character is a wannabe Jason Bourne. The reason for that the tones from the film are eerily similar but what saves this film is that there are moments which make it stand out on its own. It’s not as great as the Bourne series but this film does do a good job. Mark Wahlberg has seemed to shed his wooden acting status and added some real depth into his character and the rest of the supporting cast adds some dynamic elements to the story. The one let down is the confusing ending which doesn’t make sense at all. The bad guys get their comeuppance but you are not quite sure how Wahlberg managed to do it – won’t say it as I don’t want to spoil it. Worth a watch if you are interested.
