Given Wahlberg's laugh-out-loud performance in "The Departed", I was hoping for wittier, more humourous dialogue from "Shooter", but what it lacks in that regard is made up for by a decent car-chase scene, impressive explosions throughout, and a high body count. Predictably, there's a lot of US-bashing here, and the "BUSH LIED!! THOUSANDS DIED!!" crowd will find much to like, especially since according to this facile script, senators from Montana, acting alone, are able to dictate US foreign policy in the Horn of Africa.
