High Mile Shooter

Quite an engrossing movie still, though I missed it at the cineplex.

A movie that is quite well edited, the scenes moved in naturally from one to another. Shooter is another movie featuring the US's covert operations using shooters who can shoot from a mile using specialist calibrated gun ware. A pair normally works in a covert operation and they are satellite linked back home.

When things go awry, the shooter and the spotter are left to fend for themselves. In this story, the spotter is shot dead and the shooter returns home disillusioned with his work. However, he is roped in again to help prevent a potential attempt on the President's life. His blind loyalty to the flag puts him into a bind when he is the prime suspect in the attempted assassination where instead of the President who was assassinated, the shot went wild and killed the Archbishop of Ethiopia standing by. From then on, it was Rambo all the way. Mark Wahlberg stars.

Quite a good movie if you have the time to watch oldies.
