SHOOTER
is an uncompromising exploration of the definition and evolution of a
hero. Ryan Phillippe (“Secrets and Lies”) is a producer on the project
and will star as Bob Lee Swagger, an expert marksman living in exile
who is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the
president. Omar Epps (“House”) plays Isaac Johnson, an ex-Marine and
former commanding officer of Swagger. Now a Secret Service Agent, he
solicits Swagger’s expertise for a clandestine operation that has
disastrous results.
Someone
here (?) recommended SHOOTER. I looked it up, put it on my
Netflix queue. Watched the first two (of 10, 45-minute)
episodes. Mo
Sup is pouting now because she wanted to go total immersion. I had stuff
to do. This deal, so far, is
FIVE STARS. Thank you mystery movie aggregator (from
MoSup).
Former-Marine, unless he is Congressman John Murtha. -Anymouse
