If you recently headed to theaters to watch the action-adventure movie Uncharted, then you might be in the mood to see Mark Wahlberg in another fast-paced flick. Thankfully, Netflix has got us covered.
At the beginning of this month, the streaming service added a throwback to their film selection: Wahlberg’s 2007 film Shooter. And now, the movie has raced up Netflix’s list of most-watched movies, where it is currently sitting at number eight.
In Shooter, Wahlberg plays Gunnery Sergeant Bob Lee Swagger, a Marine sniper who is hired to help protect the U.S. president during a potential assassination attack. However, when another diplomat gets killed and Swagger is framed, he must go on the run while trying to clear his name .
If the story sounds somewhat familiar, that’s because the movie is based on a Stephen Hunter novel, called Point of Impact, which was published in 1993. Loosely based on the experiences of real-life sniper, Carlos Hathcock, the popularity of the book induced Hunter to continue the story of Swagger in eleven other novels (with the latest debuting a few months back).
Besides Wahlberg, Shooter features other major names, including Michael Peña (Ant-Man), Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon), Kate Mara (American Horror Story), Elias Koteas (Shutter Island) and Rhona Mitra (The Practice).
In addition to its star-studded cast, Shooter was directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Olympus Has Fallen) with a screenplay by Jonathan Lemkin (The Devil’s Advocate, Beverly Hills, 90210).
With so many thrillers being added to Netflix these days, we think its about time we have a movie marathon.
