The movie Shooter directed by Antoine Fuqua is about a retired U.S. marine that tells his story of him being on a co-op mission with his buddy and how they got stranded in enemy territory, after losing his buddy he fights his way back home. Living out in the deep woods Bob Lee Swagger get to shoot whatever and whenever so he is able to maintain a good shot. One day a group from the federal government visit bob lee swagger, and asked him a favor of national importance. They told him that there is a threat on the U.S. president and they asked him to plan that shot for that they can prepare what to look for. Bob Lee swagger is delayed on his decision but he decided to help them and started visiting many spots around the area where the president was going to be. He reports back to the group of guys, on the day it supposed to take place the group of guys and bob lee swagger are all in a room below where bob lee swagger thinks it’s going to take place. Then there was a shot fired killing the arch bishops of Africa, bob lee swagger turns around and has a gun pointed to at him. It was a setup they used him to kill the president but then are trying to kill him now to but the shot misses, swagger jumps from the window with a gunshot to the shoulder. The news breaks out that it was bob lee swagger and he became public enemy number one. The rest of the movie is about him running and trying to back at this conspiracy and clear his name well he’s at it. Mark Wahlberg who plays bob lee swagger has a great performance in the movie Shooter; he really made the character come alive. Bob lee swagger is a honest hard working American that server our country then lost one of his best friends, well on the run bob lee swagger visits his buddy’s widowed wife, who is a nurse. Marks role in this movie is to show that he is innocent man but well doing this he falls in love with his buddy’s widowed wife. What you should take away from this movie is that even though you are falsely accused doesn’t mean your guilty find people to believe in you and fight you’re hardest to clear your name. I greatly recommend this movie it is a good action based with a lot of American pride.
