Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

I rented this film because of the tagline stating it was in tradition of Lock Stock and Two Smoking barrels. The acting was superb, story well done, and direction, cinematography....everything just amazing.I have never seen or heard of any of the actors until I have seen this movie and I must say they did a phenomenal job.While all the actors were good the role of the kid who plays J's brother stands out. Even in a minor role his character really packed a punch.I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys "gangster" type films....there's hardly a dull moment and it keeps you watching and guessing. A+Go rent it!

Shooters might have been condemned to be a mediocre movie if not for a few telling items. The atmosphere, scenery, and outstanding actors redeem this film. Shooters isn't a movie to go to, if you're looking for something flashy. Instead Shooters gives a dreary look into the life of two gangsters. The atmosphere is exactly what it should be. It carries you with J (Andrew Howard) and Gilly (Louis Dempsey), forcing you to the building sense of everything losing control. The gritty, true-to-life feel is somewhat lost at the end--leaving a feeling of shock or anti-climax. Still, it is a much better film than many give it credit for.As previously stated, the actors are superb. Particularly, Andrew Howard as J was a powerful character. Howard is what really propels the story along. Poor Dempsey (Gilly) seems dull and lack-luster compared to Howard's dynamic acting. Also noteworthy would be Gerard Butler (Jackie Jr), Matthew Rhys (Eddie), and Adrian Dunbar (Max Dunbar).Shooters is worth your time, if you're looking for something that doesn't rely on special effects to keep hold of it's audience's attention. Andrew Howard is definitely an actor to keep an eye on.

A Brittish gangster movie. The actors chew scenery and theamazing locations help the mood achieve the tone it hopes for. Itsa dark and dreary tale told with a kinetic sense of energy. Despitethe lacking budget you feel like this is actually happening. Itsprobably the performances that truly hold it together. Great smallrole by Gerard Butler as the f**ing nuts supplier. Dempsey isgreat as well and he plays the role as if its not even acting. Its justDempsey playing Dempsey.Anyway. The film follows a man recently out of jail who gets backin with his shady friends. his friend j immediately gets himinvolved in a guns deal and as expected nothing is as it seems. The movie is great and it just does well at what you expect. Wellmade and likable characters. 7/10

I saw SHOOTERS at my local video store and saw a comment along the lines of, "comparable to Lock, Stock, & Two Smoking Barrels". Well, I can now say that it is not. Though, I did find it to be a very interesting movie overall. A very different taste and nothing like Lock, Stock.
