IMDB
Mark Wahlberg stars as a sniper working for a secret government agency. His partner gets killed during a mission, but he narrowly escapes.
We go a year and a half into the future. He lives with a dog and practices shooting cans of stew. Danny Glover shows up to get him to thwart an assassination attempt on the president. Only he really wants Wahlberg to take the fall, but he once again narrowly escapes and is on the run.
I really enjoyed this movie. It was action and conspiracy heavy. The budget is obviously bloated at 61 million. Still, the end product looks nice and has plenty explosions so I guess that money was well spent. It just gets to me when there is so much poverty in the world, but some jerkoff is going to drop 61 million on a movie that obviously wasn't going to make its money back. Still, it was a good movie.
7.5/10
