Bono? You want them to get Bono?


Shooter
Antoine Fuqua, 2007

I tend to like conspiracy movies, so I enjoyed this one. The cinematography was impressive with high contrast, high saturation land- and cityscapes. Just the right balance of smart action with plot development. I gotta admit though, the setup didn't do it for me. Getting asked to plan a presidential assassination to the finest detail in order to foil an alleged attempt? That's gotta rub anyone, even with the most intense sense of patriotic duty, the wrong way. It doesn't hurt that the female lead is cute though.
