United States | Rolling Stone | "Suspended over a deep gully of disbelief, where logic takes on more bullets than the bad guys, 'Shooter' still makes the grade as hard-ass action escapism. Props to Mark Wahlberg (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "The story is often ridiculous, but director Antoine Fuqua provides plenty of fun distractions" | NEU |
United States | Vulture | "This is the first big-studio action picture with some of the disgusted, bloody nihilism of the post-Vietnam era." | NEU |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "Like most modern action films, 'Shooter' is too explicit, more interested in mayhem than motive" | NEU |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "If the movie only lavished as much thought and care on its characters as it does on each intricate set piece, Shooter might have been a classic" | POS |
United States | USA Today | "Despite gripping chase sequences and a few awe-inspiring fiery explosions, gaping holes in the convoluted plot make Shooter heavier on style than substance" | NEU |
United States | ReelViews | "It's fast-paced, energetic, and doesn't follow a path that seems pre-ordained from the beginning" | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "A screwy assassination thriller for these murky times, it takes half its pages from Soldier of Fortune and the other half from links provided by conspiracytheories-zapoppin.org" | NEU |
United Kingdom | BBC | "It's no masterpiece, but it's way better than the usual big gun/small brain fare." | POS |
