Shooter was released in 2007 in theatres but appears often on cable. The movie stars Mark Wahlberg who came to fame from his starring role in Boogie Nights. Shooter also stars Danny Glover and Kate Mara. This is an action film that also manages to tell a good story. There is some violence, but nothing gory.

Wahlberg portrays a former sniper who worked for the military. After a bad incident in the military he decides to leave and live in the wilderness, far away from civilization. Several years later several men appear at his front door to ask him to help them with saving the president when in reality they were using him as a scapegoat to kill the president.

Antoine Fuqua directed Shooter. The great direction of the film manages to keep the viewers attention and thrill with plenty of action scenes as well as including enough time to build a relationship. Mark Wahlberg does a great job in capturing a good hearted war veteran while Danny Glover captures an evil manipulative U.S. agent. Take time out of to watch this film especially if you love action adventure films.
