SHOOTER (2007)

Positive Experience/Entertaining? WOW, was it ever NOT. This movie is a confused liberal polemic that doesn't quite get that its message is actually entirely contradictory.
Technically any good? The plot was almost as thin as it could possibly be, characters weak and predictable (also like the plot). Acting was fine, but there wasn't much to act. The action scenes were perfectly reasonable. The message of the story, much like 300 which I saw the same night, is that violence may not solve all of your problems, but it sure is cool!
How did it leave me feeling? Actually pretty offended. The film presents the idea that the system is screwed because it is run by people who break the law in the interest of making money and do what they want. However, the lead character ends up embracing that very concept but since he's the good guy, his actions got a round of applause and cheers as the credits rolled.
Final Rating? DNS - Do Not See - This movie is so morally corrupt that I can't even recommend it as a big dumb action movie. If you enjoy it like that you just might get slightly warmed up to the idea that taking the law into your own hands is a good idea.
