Who better to find an assassin than an assassin?
Enter Wahlberg, a former army sniper brought back to plan an attempt on the President’s life so that his superiors can figure out how a real shooter would do it, as they fear.
But in one of the least likely of double-crosses he’s accused of planning the real thing and sets out to track down those who have plotted against him.
It’s convoluted – rather than complex – and for all his recent Oscar kudos Walhberg remains a curiously wooden and unemotional actor.
2/5
