This film is your classic what I like to call Mark Wahlberg as Mark Wahlberg in Mark Wahlberg. Combine a disenchanted, double-crossed and framed marine scout sniper named Bob Lee Swagger, Mark Wahlberg's grimace/scowl/acting/serious face, an assassination conspiracy and some amazing moments of superlative patriotism and politics, and you've got yourself Shooter. It really is the whole package.
