What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Wahlberg isn't as confident or credible as a tough guy with a mantle of regret. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 28, 2007 Full Review Tony Horkins Empire Magazine An impressive shoot-'em-up, work-it-out action drama. Rated: 3/5 Apr 21, 2007 Full Review Andrew Pulver Guardian The cinematic equivalent of one of those chunky special-forces-porn airport novels. Rated: 2/5 Apr 14, 2007 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Conspiracy thriller about a vigilante soldier. Rated: C+ Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson 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 Mar 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Shane G 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! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Rick T Exciting all the way through. Justice prevails. What more can you want? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Romas M "Shooter" (2007) is a good action thriller from the director Antoine Fuqua. Mark Wahlberg stars here as US navy shooter that get cauth in a conspiracy. The plot here is pretty good and kept me involved until last frame. It does go a bit beyond typical good guy vs. bad guys here, but not that much. Were this film shines are in great cinematography, good editing, solid acting, and good directing. At running time 2 hours I did find this film to be engaging. All off the snipers stuff here is also very interesting to hear and to see. Overall, "Shooter" is one of the best films made by Antoine Fuqua. It's a solid genre film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review John R Best Mark Wahilberg movie I've seen from him Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Oaklee D A run of the mill action film but it is a fun time all round. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Troy R Decent action, ok acting, some decent moments. Story was not amazing and mostly forgettable. First half of the movie was a tight mystery/detective movie, but the second half lost all the logic and just went into shooting/fighting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
