After I saw this, I went out and read a bunch of other reviews of it . . . nearly everyone was in agreement that Johnny Depp was utterly intriguing in his starring role, but that the main twist could be seen coming miles away. Which I have to say, is right on. If you want a mystery thriller with a REAL twist, check out Memento. However, I do have to agree with the first half of those reviews as well. Johnny Depp was great. As a writer (though I haven't managed to crank out much good stuff yet) I could totally see glimpses of myself in his character. So... in general, this movie was pretty decent for an evening of mild entertainment but nothing that fantastic.

I thought it was O.K... I can't comment on how suprising the end was because I knew it before I saw the movie, however I found the movie to be totally devoid of any scare factor. Johnny Depp was amazing though, just like everyone says. The ending scene was pretty good... but I really didn't find Shooter that creepy. I thought as a movie, it was a bit lacking.
