Film Review: Shooter

Where is justice? 'The Shooter' is a action, thriller movie directed by Antoine Fuqua who shows the internal conflict in the government. It based on the 'Point of Impact' by Stephen Hunter. Bob Lee Swagger (main character) is former United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper. He left the marine after involving in a confidential Ethiopian mission. His friend, Donny, and he were abandoned by the army in the hands of the enemy. After Donny's death he lives in alone with his dog and beers. He is one of the few best snipers in the world who can "take out a target from a mile away." Colonel Isaac Johnson wants him to stop the assassination of the president by tracking down the distance of the shooter. On the assassination day, Swagger waits for the timing of the shooter. However, Swagger is shot by the one of Johnson's man while the shooter kills Ethiopian Archbishop. While he runs for his life, he runs into a FBI agent Nick Memphis. Swagger tells him that he did not kill the president and flees. He is pinned down."Yesterday was about honor. Today is about justice."That was the main summary for the movie. I don't want to spoil the movie! 'Shooter' is my favorite thriller, action film. This movie shows the inside of the government. Nobody is perfect, which includes the government.
