Shooter

[WingNut]

Saw this the weekend with me gf and a friend...what an awesome movie!
All of us thoroughly enjoyed it, was definitely one of the best action movies I've seen this year. Mark Wahlberg is getting pretty good at these action flicks...

Plot details follows:

Mark Wahlberg plays a kick-ass army sniper dude who gets left for dead in Ethiopia when the poo hits the fan... he survives (obviously) and retires pretty pissed off with the army... a few years later he gets contacted to advise on how the president could be killed by a long range sniper and how to prevent it...


GO watch it I was very pleasantly surprised by this movie!

Saw the trailer. Looks good!

Watched this on Sat. night. Very good flick, and Kate Mara is yum yum tasty.

Danny Glovers post stroke lisp is just a tad annoying.

[TG]

Oh, is that what that was. I thought it was a character thing.

[senorblinky]

No, it looks like he's lisping now, in more roles than just that one.
Poor Glover, he's such a hero, he should probably stop making movies now, retire gracefully. (Like Kirk Douglas should have)

Apologies
I read more (and it shows you shouldn't just trust the first source)
Another source stated that it WAS a character thing
Another one offered dentures/a retainer as a plausible explanation

Alls i know is that it's an ongoing speech impediment, and it's damn annoying.
