Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C+ Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Bob Townsend "An improbable, paranoid action picture, made slightly better by Mark Wahlberg's moody take on the title role." more... C   Boston Globe Ty Burr "The film moves at a clip and smartly alternates mayhem and drama." more... B- Chicago Sun-Times Bill Zwecker "...while it's fast-paced and often something of a nail-biter, Shooter doesn't really pay off, other than merely give us a lot of action, merely for action's sake." more... B- Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "Its ideal audience is that of longtime Soldier of Fortune subscribers who may not renew because they've been feeling a little conflicted about world affairs lately." more... C   E! Online Alex Markerson "It definitely has its moments, but Shooter is a near miss." more... C+ Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman "Once the conspiracy is revealed, there's still 90 minutes of manhunt to go, with Wahlberg, in blank-slate mode, reduced to Rambo in the concrete jungle." more... C- filmcritc.com Sean O'Connell "Sadly, screenwriter Jonathan Lemkin...runs (Stephen) Hunter's complicated novel through a grinder..." more... C   Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "Above-average action with thinly sketched characters." more... B- New York Post Kyle Smith "...mostly it's content to deliver Salisbury steak-and-mashed-potatoes action..." more... B- New York Times Manohla Dargis "...a thoroughly reprehensible, satisfyingly violent entertainment about men and guns and things that go boom (heads, mostly)." more... B- ReelViews James Berardinelli "The film takes the cynic's view of the U.S. political power structure and paints an identifiable portrait." more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "Props to Mark Wahlberg, an actor whose fierce gaze and sneaky humor can carry a movie over the rockiest terrain." more... B- San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub "Starts out OK, but then almost seems to be intentionally going for humor." more... C   Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...the whole thing is so stupid that it's not much fun." more... D   USA Today Claudia Puig "...heavier on style than substance." more... C   * Yahoo!
