2012 Movie...Good effects but predictable storyline
Advantages: Visual Effects
Disadvantages: Predictable storyline
...the Mayan Calender in December 2012 and then plays out what is predicted, I think that this is the best part as it shows what is happening to different parts of the world, where as films in the same genre only show one country being on-slaughtered so to speak. From the beginning it is action packed, although the acting is a little bit dubious at times the visual effects more than makes up for it, it will keep you in your chairs throughout the entire ...

Shooter..A gripping thriller
Advantages: Very Entertaining
Disadvantages: Predicatable outcome, but you'd be disappointed if it wasn't!
Shooter The Plot Shooter is based on Stephen Hunter's 1993 novel Point of Impact (which I haven't read so cannot compare). But thought I should mention it. For those of you who are into conspiracy theories (and yes I am one of them!) this film is for you.... Bob Lee Swagger (played by Mark Wahlberg) is an ex-Special Ops sharpshooter who has been retired since finishing a tour of duty in Ethiopia. The film starts showing Swagger in action, his ...
...as Lead Mercenary Director Shooter is directed by American, Antoine Fuqua. Antoine started his career by directing music videos until becoming a successful film director (although he was good at the music stuff!). He is best known for the award winning film Training Day. Producer This film is produced by the amazingly talented Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Lorenzo has produced such films as Stardust(starring Robert DeNero), Four Brothers(another film ...

Shooter, better with the extras.
Advantages: Action packed, great extras on DVD
Disadvantages: Bit too predictable and Morgan freeman sucks.
Shooter, 2007, rating 15.
I bought this film as a 3 for £20 from HMV and have only just got round to watching it. It is directed by Antoine Fuqua (Who???).
Mark Wahlberg, yep, Marky Mark the rapper for all those that remember him that way, is in yet another film, he is certainly a prolific actor these days. In this film he plays Bob Lee Swagger Special Forces sniper.
The opening scene sees Swagger camouflaged and waiting in some hills in Ethiopia, ...
...waiting some time, and the spotter, Donnie makes the fatal mistake of showing Swagger a photo of his girl back home, that's it, you just know he is a dead man, always happens! It's almost as predictable as the bit part college guy going into the dark room in a slasher movie.
An American convey comes into view, and they are about to be ambushed by some rebel forces......Donnie starts reeling off targets, wind speeds, metres to each target, speed ...

'You're not trying to draw a psycho pension. You ARE crazy!'
Advantages: Great buddy cop movie
Disadvantages: None really
...on is the 1987 blockbuster Lethal Weapon, where Donner directed Gibson and Danny Glover as a mismatched pair of detectives on the trail of a gang of drugs smugglers. The film was hailed an immediate success, both critically and commercially.
The Plot
Career police detective sergeant Roger Murtaugh is teamed up with loose cannon and recovering alcoholic Martin Riggs to investigate a murder. They uncover a large scale drugs smuggling ring and link ...
...the 80s, loook no further. Lethal Weapon has everything you need from a buddy movie, with high levels of comedy infiltrating the dangerous action thriller plotline. I found the film intense and enjoyable, with some clever action sequences considering the level of special effects available 20 years ago. It is considered the stepping stone for buddy cop movies such as Rush Hour and Bad Boys, and remains one of the best action films in my view.
The ...

Lethal Weapon
Advantages: Great action, very funny
Disadvantages: It looks an old film and is but this is not always a bad thing
Lethal Weapon are classic films, they are ones that you must watch, everyone I know has seen at least one of them, they are brill, each one is as good if not better than the last. All four lead on to the next. This whole set are really funny as well as action packed, I think that you need to watch all 4 one after another to get the full affect. Mel is a great actor and these films just relay that. The first is just as good as the fourth, well worth ...
