BOTTOM LINE: Thrilling film about an ex-marksman framed by the very Government he has served loyally for many years.

THE GOOD: This film has a lot of things going for it. The previews of this film gave the appearance of a quality action film but we actually get a storyline with it as well! Shock, horror... The story of this film is quite layered and intriguing, as we follow Wahlberg's journey to find out who set him up. It leads him to a conspiracy within the Federal Government going back to one of his earlier missions as an assassin which led to the death of his spotter. Danny Glover puts in an uncharacteristic bad guy performance as the two-faced ex-CIA man who recruits Wahlberg only to feed him to the dogs mid-mission. The film's attention to detail is also another plus; almost every detail pertaining to marksmanship and guns is on display and very authentic. It adds a great sense of realism to the piece and adds value to the film that wouldn't otherwise be there. The film has some sweeping visuals (particular the opening scenes) and is well constructed. Overall, well done in all departments.

THE BAD: The film is a little long, and the conspiracy theory storyline gets a bit strained in some points. But overall, there really isn't a lot wrong with the film.
