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 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 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.

What do they know? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review Dani G I felt like I've watched this same character from Mark Whalberg many times before Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Thomas C While I really like Antoine Fuqua and think that he's one of the most underrated directors, this is not one of his best movies. By far. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Bahad j In my opinion, the movie uses very good camera and audio visual equipment and the crew members and the filmmakers have played their roles very well. I really liked it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Bulgantamir B It was so adventure and bot bored Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
