Movie Review - Shooter

Too many mistakes, Lets start with the framing for the shooting. He hasn't fired a weapon and his weapon hadn't been used in the shooting. He'd have no Gun Shot Residue on his hands and the bullet used wouldn't match his rifle. I can relate to the people drawing similarities with this and First Blood because of the way he treats his own wounds (which you actually never see).

I do like the FBI guy who spots the obvious frame-up right away and Rhona Mitra (one of the original Lara Crofts!) plays his sidekick pretty well. Are the 2 guys who try to stop and ask Wahlberg for ID rent-a-cops? They aren't dressed like Police? And even if they are, since when do police have the right to ask for id? America - Land of the free, isn't it?

Hooking the FBI guy up with Wahlberg is good idea and plays well but the notion that he could learn to shoot as well as a marine sniper in such a short time is pretty silly and unbelievable. The ending where Wahlberg goes and kills Glover and the Senator is predicable and very weak, it could have been much better.
