Our take on Shooter

Antoine Fuqua's action thriller follows Bob Lee Swagger, an elite Marine sniper who retreats into isolation after a mission goes disastrously wrong. Lured back by officials claiming to need his help foiling a plot against the President, he's instead double-crossed and framed for the attempt, becoming the target of a nationwide manhunt. On the run, he sets out to unmask the real shooter and the powerful figures who set him up, working his way toward revenge against corrupt leaders. It's a lean, conspiracy-minded thriller powered by a wronged-man premise and long-range gunplay. Good for viewers who like grounded action, distrust-of-power plots, and a protagonist methodically turning the tables on his betrayers.
