Critics Consensus

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

I don't know what the so-called professional critics have been smoking giving this movie only 48%. If you like action movies, Shooter is amongst the best of the best. That is at least my humble, non-professional, opinion.

Wow, I thought I disliked Mark Walberg before this movie. This movie was so mind numbingly boring and somehow seemed to make me dislike him more. I truly did not think that was possible.

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

Empire Magazine

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

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

Deep Focus Review

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

Film Frenzy

Comparisons to Sylvester Stallone's similarly ill-treated combat vet are paper-thin, since this film is anything but a Rambore.

Rated: 3/4

Douglas Davidson

Elements of Madness

Even 15 years later, Shooter is a solid thriller executed by a cast willing to take it seriously and a director capable of delivering solid action sequences that serve the narrative well.
