Babi B.

This movie was excellent! As a Veteran of the Military, I was in "awe" since there wasn't a great deal of profanity. Bob Lee was truly a patriotic soul. His patriotism was taken for granted by the Government, the same people whom we are supposed to trust. I found this movie fascinating because this type of betrayal happens in real life with real people. I think people will relate to it with the current war that our husbands, fathers, sons, nephews, etc. are going through. One of my favorite scenes was on the mountain when he gave himself up. He even showed patriotism t hen. This movie depicted Mark Wahlberg as a loyal soldier, loyal friend to his buddy who died, and finally loyal to his own identity. Great Writing!

While I didn't buy into some of the pro-socialist propaganda, I did enjoy the movie. Great pacing and really good acting.

This is a plot line that has been done before, many times. The crack-shot gets called out of retirement to do one last job and finds himself betrayed by the very ones that hired him. He is then running for his life with two things in mind to clear his name and get revenge. What I liked about his movie was Mark Wahlberg. He is hot and amazing to watch while he kicks the bad guy's. I gave it 3 stars because of Mark and because it held my interest from beginning to end. I would be angry too if someone killed my dog,
