ohiobonanza I never saw Guy Ritchie's "Lock..." , but if it's anything like this loser, I pity it. I watched this wishing I could fast forward it. It was very disjointed and stark. I watched it for Gerard Butler, who evidently did a small part in it to help his friends, the other actors, out. He plays a psychotic hottie...who uses violence as a sadistic baton. we see him make a deal in a small segment, and then we see him in a room with a woman. He has on a towel..and that alone would make me want to watch more. (I'm shallow when it comes to Butler)He hits people with baseball bats, smothers them nearly to death with a plastic bag, kisses them on the cheek and tries to make friendly, gets shot at, shoots at, and eventually is killed outside in his towel. Nice leg shots, however. The leads are forgettable..and one ends up dead. It's seedy and dark...but the Glaswegian brogue is beyond me, and there are no subtitles. So..if you like rather unglued jigsaw pieces of movies with violence, you might like this; or if you enjoy anything Gerard Butler, you'll enjoy his towel only as a preview of his Spartan loincloth in "300." I bought the DVD...just for Gerard...I fast forward it to Butler's parts and then store it away.

langstar1 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

Theo Robertson I had a gut feeling as this started that I wasn`t going to like it much . A couple of dudes open the trunk of an automobile , pull out several guns and start discussing the merchandise . Is this a Scorsese picture ? Is it a Tarantino picture ? No , it`s a Brit flick and it`s one with a totally underdeveloped script I could really put the boot into SHOOTERS due to the production values but that`d be slightly unfair , and I suppose I should admire the producers who instead of going cap in hand to the lottery fund decided to sink their own money into the project , but alas it is painfully obvious they were skint because compared to this the average film school production has the budget of TERMINATOR 3 in comparison , and let`s not forget that 12 ANGRY MEN proves a lack of budget is no excuse for a badly written script

danny_ferrari Shooters is one of many pure British gangster films that are flooding today's movie channels on TV. It is a dark, twisted film that should be taken seriously, even if the movie itself is not to your ideal taste. It is accurate at portraying examples of particular events that might occur if the desperate underground life of English, Welsh and Irish mobsters were revealed to the world. Shooters follows a 'coke-snorting' Welsh gangster who is undergoing a series of different pressures from different aspects of his life including his wife, police and of course the gang leaders... I advise anyone who is interested in this genre of film to watch and understand, so one can form their own views on the state of British life on the 'other' side...
