Based
on the horrid 2007 action film that may well be the nadir of Mark
Wahlberg's big screen career, Ryan Phillippe now plays Bob Lee
Swagger, a retired ex-marine sniper who finds himself called back to
service when his old friend Isaac in the Secret Service asks him to
help prevent a plot to assassinate of the President. But when the
President still gets assassinated, Bob Lee realizes only too late
that he is being framed and fall guy for the assassination. On the
run he has to not only prove his innocence but also protect those he
cares about in Shooter: Season One (2016 - 2017).
Bob
Lee scopes out places and find places to possible snipe and
assassinate the President, but turns out they were using him to help
come up with a plan to assassinate the President and then for him to
take the fall for it. Along with a disgraced FBI agent Nadine, Bob
and Nadine discover a conspiracy within the FBI, CIA and Secret
Service. Bob must once more fall back on his old military skills and
contacts to not only elude the government but also hunt down those
who framed him. Meanwhile, Isaac is tasked with hunting Bob down he
begins to question the conspiracy and if there is a leak in national
security.
This
is your typical action packed series for those who love conspiracies
theories and is a military nut. That for the sake of homeland
security there should be an increase in government militarization and
they are justified to do anything to protect in the name of the
'United States of America'. Like usual, the main character is
innocent and framed, and finds themselves against the government and
an army of assassins. Look for Omar Epps, Josh Stewart, Jason
Gedrick, Beverly D'Angelo, Jesse Bradford and Tom Sizemore too.
The
anamorphically enhanced 1.78 X 1 image and lossy Dolby Digital 5.1
mix are as good as they can get for the format and look as good as
the old feature film ever did. The only extra is The Making of
Shooter featurette.
