Movies I’m Looking Forward to: “Shooter”

Antoine Fuqua’s “Shooter”, the big screen adaptation of Stephen Hunter’s “Point of Impact”, is one of the few movies I’m looking forward to that isn’t called “Transformers” or “300″. It’s got an intriguing premise, Mark Wahlberg is great in this type of physical action roles, and for some reason, movies about snipers and the art of sniping gets me all giddy, which is probably why I’ve seen all three “Sniper” movies with Tom Berenger when 99% of the population has no idea there were more than 1. The trailer for “Shooter” also rocks all kinds of ways, with the lovely Kate Mara playing Wahlberg’s love interest and Rhona Mitra in badass babe mode.

In the film, “a marksman (Wahlberg) living in exile is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president. Ultimately double-crossed and framed for the attempt, he goes on the run to track the real killer and find out who exactly set him up, and why.” Great stuff!
