Shooter

First a little background. Shooter based off of a book called Point of Impact by Stephen Hunter. Stephen Hunters inspiration came from a true Vietnam sniper, Carlos Hathcock. Hathcock is regarded to be the best sniper ever. This book is the first of three in a trilogy. Kind of reminds me of the Bourne trilogy, not in content, but a guy double crossed comes back to set things right.

I really like this movie. More so than the Bourne series, at least so far. Shooter is put together well. You can really tell that they spent some time on it. Some movies feel rushed. Shooter feels the complete opposite. There are subtle detail through out. A couple examples would be like when they are picking out camouflage. He says are you hunting in that forest. You make your own in the field where you are going. Another detail is when they go to where the shot is taken from. You can't even see the target. Stuff like this helps submerge you in the movie.

There are some twists and turns, nothing too complicated or unpredictable, but the ride is a fun one. The action is steady and the movie has a great flow to it. If I had one complaint, it would be the very end. Not going to give it away, not that big a deal. Not sure how I would have changed it. It is definitely worth watching!

Good:
Entertaining chase movie. Great flow. Details.

Bad:
Ending wrap up. Not a big deal. Don't even know if I would change it. Was searching for something though.

Comments:
I hope they make the other two books into movies!

Recommendations:
Rent it. It is a fun ride.
