Critic Reviews:
- “Shooter is the sort of straight-up storytelling USA is best known
for, albeit almost completely devoid of humor.” – TV Insider
- “Watching Shooter as a series is like falling back into a well-known
and familiar story, just one with lots of guns. It's downright comfortable. And
that's odd.” – Detroit News
- “Between the strong cast and a generally solid execution of a familiar
formula, the pilot does still have plenty to offer.” –
