Shooter movie is off target

Shooter

Director: Antoine Fugua

Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Danny Glover, Michael Pena, Elias Koteas

Cert: 16

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.

Star Rating: 2/5
