Rey P Mar 23, 2019 Strengths: It can be difficult to build a compelling action movie around a sniper, since most of what they do involves sitting around without moving. Antoine Fuqua manages to make the action scenes in this work well. Theyï¿ 1/2(TM)re shot in an interesting manner and keep you engaged. For example, the final shooting scene isnï¿ 1/2(TM)t overly long and features some really cool kills. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s the kind of stuff I came to this movie to see. Mark Wahlberg (Bob Lee Swagger) does a solid job as the lead. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s typical Wahlberg and thatï¿ 1/2(TM)s okay. I also liked the smaller performances from Michael Pena (Nick Memphis) and Danny Glover (Isaac Johnson). The ending had a nice twist that was the one part of the plot I didnï¿ 1/2(TM)t see coming. Weaknesses: The plot is nothing special. Itï¿ 1/2(TM)s your generic conspiracy film and you can see a lot of the story beats coming from a mile away. Originality is not this movieï¿ 1/2(TM)s strong suit. There are also several plot holes and youï¿ 1/2(TM)ll find yourself struggling to believe a lot of what happens. I usually like Kata Mara (Sarah Fenn) and while she isnï¿ 1/2(TM)t bad here, itï¿ 1/2(TM)s hard to appreciate her scenes because her forced accent is awful. I think the biggest issue with this movie is that it takes itself too seriously. It tries to be more than it really is. Had it been positioned as more of a dumb, fun action flick, I think it wouldï¿ 1/2(TM)ve worked better. Overall: If youï¿ 1/2(TM)re here for an impressive script and plot, youï¿ 1/2(TM)re in the wrong place. However, this has solid enough acting and some strong action to make it a recommend. See more

Dec 19, 2018 Great action packed Testosterone filled action :-)

Han S Oct 17, 2018 Mark Wahlberg's character becomes involved in a conspiracy and uses his highly trained skills to try and settle the score. It's engaging and enjoyable with enough action to satisfy most of us. I'll watch it again. See more
