Reception

Despite no Rotten Tomatoes approval rating and a Want-To-See score of 29%, The Shooter received positive reviews from critics and audiences. Karina Montgomery of "rec.arts.movies.reviews" called it "a meat and potatoes kind of film, a good time. You can find plot holes, but to comment on them would be petty in light of the rest of the film's merits working with them." Super Reviewer Brody Manson said "I was NOT expecting to like this western as much as I did but It had that old school western feel and it was action packed from start to finish."
