Critics Consensus

With an implausible story and numerous plot holes, Shooter fails to distinguish itself from other mindless action-thrillers.

Wahlberg isn't as confident or credible as a tough guy with a mantle of regret.

Rated: 2.5/5

Empire Magazine

An impressive shoot-'em-up, work-it-out action drama.

Guardian

The cinematic equivalent of one of those chunky special-forces-porn airport novels.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

We can’t enjoy the film as a thriller because the plot is so impossibly stupid, and we can’t enjoy the action because it’s reduced to Wahlberg in various forms of camouflage plugging his targets without the slightest hitch.

Rated: 1.5/4

Film Frenzy

Comparisons to Sylvester Stallone's similarly ill-treated combat vet are paper-thin, since this film is anything but a Rambore.

Rated: 3/4

Douglas Davidson

Elements of Madness

Even 15 years later, Shooter is a solid thriller executed by a cast willing to take it seriously and a director capable of delivering solid action sequences that serve the narrative well.

Dani G I felt like I've watched this same character from Mark Whalberg many times before Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Thomas C While I really like Antoine Fuqua and think that he's one of the most underrated directors, this is not one of his best movies. By far.
