Shooter (2007), Directed by Antoine Fuqua

Summary: A highly skilled ex-army sniper reluctantly gives in to a government plea for his help in preventing an assassination attempt on the President of the United States, only to find himself framed for the sinister plot.

Things I Liked: The look of the film, which is competently shot and directed. Overall, Wahlberg portrays his character in a fairly believable manner.

Things I Didn't Like: The less-than-original premise and frequent plot conveniences. Also, the slurred, unenergetic manner in which actor Danny Glover delivered his lines rendered the actor very difficult to understand.
