Mark Wahlberg, best known as the guy from Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, is an ex-Marine sniper who gets caught up in some wacky hijinks after he retires.
The good: a protagonist who thinks justice can be dictated from the barrel of a gun.
The bad: The presence of Danny Glover and Ned "Where You Goin City Boy" Beatty fill this movie with "amerikkka is evil oil-mongering evil on a stick." One of the protagonists is even wearing a Che Guerva shirt at one point.
It was a fun movie if you can ignore all of the heavy-handed bullshit and just get behind an underdog taking out a corrupt system one high caliber round at a time.
