You know, stuff like when a person gets shot multiple times but is still able to swim across the Delaware River. My only criticism is, as I implied in my title, a few preposterous things happen so be prepared. And that's what makes this movie really fun when he starts to take things on the offensive. What follows is an action packed political conspiracy thriller along the lines of a Tom Clancy story ("Clear and Present Danger", "Patriot Games") but with the noticeable difference that our hero Bob is a total badass, sort of like a dash of "First Blood".
Danny Glover plays his government liaison while at the top is Ned Beatty playing a questionable senator. That's all I'll say about the plot because the fun part is riding all the twists & turns that follow. "Bob Lee Swagger" (Mark Wahlberg) is an Army sniper, one of the best, who is given the assignment of planning-but not executing-an assassination. But don't pack your hockey stick just yet because the story provides enough satisfying turns to keep things entertaining rather than depressing. It's the kind of movie that makes you want to run off to Canada, not because you hate your country but because you hate the goons who are running it. Even worse, they do nasty things to his dog. "Shooter" is a tale about a patriot who gets used & abused by the government that he swore allegiance to.
