They are left alone in the desert and the only company they have are dozens of enemies. Donnie doesn’t make it. Donnie’s wife Sarah Fenn (Kate Mara) gives Bob shelter during the manhunt.

There are many special effects in the movie. For example a lot of explosions and guns. In the movie Swagger uses the same weapons as real United States Marines use. The movie has been made as real as possible. Shooter’s genre is definitely action. The exact genre is thriller action film.

Shooter is definitely my favorite movie. I have watched this movie about five times and I can watch it again and again. I love Mark Wahlberg’s acting and everything about this movie. I like guns, explosions and everything about army, so the movie is for me. Best movie ever.
