Movies in my spare time : Shooter

I  watched the movie Shooter with Mark Wahlberg this past weekend in a car ride to my brothers football game to pass some time.  Anything with Mark Wahlberg I usually see, and shooter is one of my favorite movies he has done.  I like a lot of Wahlberg's movies because there violent and have a good story.  Like most of Wahlberg's movies Shooter is action packed and keeps you on your toes, with a plot that throws a couple curveballs at you. people who would enjoy this movie are people who are interested in action, and plots with a twist, also happy endings after a rough beginning.
                One key scene from Shooter that got me excited was in the end where Bob Lee Swagger  is brought before the attorney general and the FBI director in a closed-door meeting in Washington.  Where Bob Lee Swagger has to prove his innocents. And he proves that it couldn't of been him who shot the bullet, because all of his bullets are customized to his gun and if their not those bullets the gun won't function.  So he takes the bullets and asks for permission to load the gun, he puts the bullet in his gun and aims it at the attorney General and pulls the trigger.  Nothing happens because the gun won't function this ultimately proves his innocence and grants him a release from where he was being detained. He then goes and finds the man who sets him up and kills him. this scene got people interested because he picks the loaded gun up and points it at the attorney General which is highly illegal but thats what he need to do to prove he was innocent.
                 The film itself doesn't have really any unusual features that stick out. the filming it done with a bunch of different angles but thats about it.   couple images i really like in the movie though is when he is up in the mountains shooting and it makes everything seem so real and so natural. you don'

t always see that in movies today. Also his home that he's living in is really cool because i have a similar type of cabin that is excluded from the outside world.
               
                I gave Shooter ****/***** stars because like I said before it is an action packed movie that kept me on my toes, and in the end Wahlberg the innocent man proves his innocents in the case of accused accusations of the attempt at executing the president.  This movie is very similar to another one of Wahlberg's movie Contraband.  It's similar to contraband because in both movies Wahlberg is just a law abiding citizen with a past and history that he's not so proud of and is trying to move on from it.  In Contraband he is an ex smuggler and is working on getting his family on the right track. in shooter he is an ex sniper shooter for the US army.  both of those lives are behind him but not ideal situations  arose where people request his skills to return, which puts him in sticky situations that he has to get out of.  And in the end of both stories Wahlberg preservers and continues on working on his new morals and beliefs . But both films start of sort of dark and continue to be dark until the end.
