The Shooter

[alphaomega16]

Anyone seen the trailer for this yet ?

This film looks like its gonna be pretty damn good but I dont know whether or not its worth the WAY overpriced £8.

 

[Daddy k]

think it looks good too, (its is the one with mark wahklberg the sniper setup thingy one?)

 

[BAN5HEE]

Trailer looks good. I will defo go and see this one.

 

[BrynTeg]

me too, love films like this, looks a bit like a bourne film with snipers,
i loved the sniper movie with tom berenger too.

Caught "The Sniper" on tv a few weeks ago. Thought it was ok but not a patch on "Enemy at the Gates" which is probably my favourite sniper movie at the moment.

Maybe I wasn't that impressed with Sniper because I kept thinking what a lucky lucky git that Billy Zane is to be knocking off Kelly Brook.

Haven't seen The Shooter trailer and not sure I want to. They put way too many spoilers in them these days. Some show so much you may as well not see the whole film.

 

[alphaomega16]

Dont really think the trailer is a spoiler but it gives you an idea of what the pace is going to be like and the plot of the movie but personally I wouldnt say it gives too much away.

Others may think different in the trailer but thats my personally my opinion.

Not a bad movie. Think Mark Wahlberg and don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed. A nice daft action flick. The Parallax View this is not.

Anyone seen tis yet ?

Yeah, caught this on Friday. I thought it was excellent Could see everything coming but very good action sequences. I have come to quite like Mark Whalberg these days

Er, yes. See above.

 

[alphaomega16]

Er, yes. See above.

lol sorry thought you was giving views on the trailer.

 

[fantastic dan]

Looking forward to seeing this. I'm a fan of Mark Wahlberg as an actor myself.

Ditto the above.

It is not a classic, but very good and much better than most action/thriller movies that have been released recently.

Also, nice to see Danny Glover though I felt he was a little under used.

 

[alphaomega16]

I got this booked for the 20:40 showing and southend Odeon

 

[DVD-Man]

I thought it was enjoyable enough, good sequences, liked the techy bits.

7/10

I decided not to head to the pub on saturday night and go to the cinema instead (i'm i getting old or what) and so watched the shooter. Wasn't expecting much (was expecting it to be similar to a film i watched back in 2004, can't remember its name at this minute) but enjoyed it never the less. 7.5/10 seems a fair score.

Watched The Shooter over the week-end , which was pretty OK , but what is wrong with the co star Danny Glover? His speech is slurred and slow , has he been ill or something?

i thought he had a lisp

i thought the film was superb btw. (the only annoying part being when danny glover spoke)

i never really used to like mark wahlberg much .. until i saw the departed, now he must be one of my favourite actors, he just seems so convincing in every character he plays

I thought there was a sound problem at first.

I thought it was a good film, but his mate was a blooming quick learner, wasn't he.

 

[BrynTeg]

Spoiler

when he arrives all shot up at the womans home he has his operation done etc and she says something about his dog???what happened to the dog, i think he was killed but by who

 

[McNab]

MrFurious. She tells him that

Spoiler

it was reported that he shot his dog because he knew he was never going to go back.
