Critics Consensus

With an implausible story and numerous plot holes, Shooter fails to distinguish itself from other mindless action-thrillers.

Wahlberg isn't as confident or credible as a tough guy with a mantle of regret.

An impressive shoot-'em-up, work-it-out action drama.

The cinematic equivalent of one of those chunky special-forces-porn airport novels.

7/10

The script tends to know what it’s doing; as the good guys outsmart the villains every so often, despite being outmanned and outgunned, these little wins – aided by overwrought cleverness – are quite amusing.

1.5/4

We can’t enjoy the film as a thriller because the plot is so impossibly stupid, and we can’t enjoy the action because it’s reduced to Wahlberg in various forms of camouflage plugging his targets without the slightest hitch.

It was alright mark Wahlberg did alright but sometimes it felt like he was reading from the straight script. The villain was a great villain. There wasn’t a need for a love interest though. I would recommend the movie to like military veterans.

Story was meh and not believable.. Levon Helm had the best part but was only 3 min long. . The movie felt rushed., and jumped around too much. I spent most of it thinking “What?..No way!” The gun battles and action scenes were what kept me watching.

This is a very fun movie! Does it have plenty of plot holes and unrealistic scenes? Yes, absolutely. But if you go into it without trying to pick apart every scene, it's just a blast from start to finish. It has funny and likeable characters, many satisfying scenes, and some disturbingly convincing villains. Put your tinfoil hat on and enjoy the ride!
