Mark Wahlberg's 124-Minute Old-School Action Thriller Shoots Onto Free Streaming

Mark Wahlberg unleashes gloriously no-nonsense throwback action in Shooter, now streaming free on Pluto TV. Released in 2007 and directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film is based on Stephen Hunter’s 1993 novel Point of Impact and runs 124 minutes. Michael Peña, Danny Glover, Kate Mara, Levon Helm and Ned Beatty join Wahlberg in a shoot‑em‑up built around a single man with a mission.

Wahlberg plays Bob Lee Swagger, an elite Marine sniper who goes off the grid after a mission gone wrong. Coaxed back to help thwart a plot against the President, Swagger is betrayed, forced on the run, and sets out to exact justice and revenge. The movie leans into the straightforward one‑man‑army approach that echoes 1980s action heroes.

Critical reaction split cleanly: Shooter holds a 47% on Rotten Tomatoes yet scores 80% on the Popcornmeter, where audiences called it “terrific,” “tense, thrilling, fun,” and “classic,” adding, “Exciting all the way through. Justice prevails.
