Mark Wahlberg Attends Shooter Premiere in Boston

The premiere of at Shooter at Lowes Boston Common brought out all the best dressed folks in Boston. It may have helped that hometown boy Mark Wahlberg was in attendance to introduce the movie and host the after party at Felt. The nigh benefited the Mark Wahlberg Foundation. It was a great homecoming for Walberg after his Oscar Nomination for The Departed.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get close enough to Mark to grab a shot but here are some pics from the night.

Shooter Review
3.5 out of 5 Stars

Shooter is Rambo circa 2007 where a retired sniper comes out of his cabin for one last mission (which that turns bad of course). Wahlberg shows he is a bona fide action star who carries the role like a pro. There is plenty of action and I loved all of the dialog about the art of a sniper. You could tell the filmmakers really did their homework.

On the downside, there were plenty of plot holes and some not-so great acting by some of the supporting cast. One of the main villains (toothpick guy) was just unbelievable from the start. And Danny Glover just did not fit in his role either. But if you need your fix of action, check it out.
