Shooter

This movie was not only very cool, but a bit disturbing too, only because the things that happen in it could be happening as I write this post. This is the story of military elite sniper Bob Lee Swagger. He and his spotter were left out in the middle of nowhere in Africa after they unknowingly helped cover a U.S. government war crime. Sgt. Swagger's spotter was killed, but he survived. Later, the same individuals came to Swagger with a story of needing to prevent a presidential assassination, while using his abilities to plan the assassination of Ethiopian Prime minister, who would have revealed their secrets. Swagger was blamed for the crime, and ended up struggling with his very utmost to survive the attempts to eliminate him by the bad government officials responsible for all the trouble. There is not as much blood and gore in this film as many action films, but the violence is still unacceptable for kids to see. Also, there are a few scenes in which a woman is not very appropriately dressed. Thankfully they were fairly brief scenes. The action and story-line of this movie were absolutely amazing. Probably one of the best action stories I've ever seen on film. If it weren't for the scenes with the immodestly covered woman this would be one of my favorite movies of all time. As it is it was really good, and any action fan will like it. There are plenty of gun-fights, and some awesome explosions as well. The end of the movie was one of the best endings I've ever seen on a movie. Swagger does win, and when the man co-responsible for all the government crimes asks as Swagger is getting ready to shoot him, "are you out of your mind? You know I'm a United States Senator!" Swagger replies as he pulls the trigger, "Exactly"

I can't approve of this for family viewing, but for teens and adults who like action stuff, this one is great. The story and filming gets a 10, but because of the immodesty and language, I docked it down to an 8.5
