Shooter (2007) was excellent...


Can't believe this was remade for TV

Is it even watchable? Is it R rated like the movie??

Just hoping it's not watered down...

reply

I haven't seen the movie, but I like the show so far.
It would be R-rated if USA didn't mute out all the F words. 

The movie was not that good but the show definitely is.

reply

The movie was so much better. So far the shows stupid, I just can't get into.

reply

Movie and series are both good.

reply

The show moved away from the movie so some things are different. But from my understanding, the movie is actually based off a book but I never read any of them. I did really like the movie. The show as expected will be dragged out so, i expect once it gets to interesting part like him running from the police and more action sequences it gets better

Its a pale imitation of a fairly decent movie so far. Watered down and prettied up with male model-alike Phillips and his perfect family. I am still giving it a chance though.

They already did that, starting with episode 2.

Wahlberg was literally a model.

reply

He may have been a model at one point in his career but he looked like a scruffy redneck loner in the movie, guy even had a greasy ponytail. Phillipe is much more of a cliche with his himbo appearance and perfect family like out of a catalogue.

reply

I think both are excellent. I think the show follows the book, rather than following the movie. As a lot of things are different. I believe the show follows the book more accurately too. But I can't be sure, because I haven't read the book.
