The Shooters

About This Movie

The Shooters is one of those quirky comedies from the late '80s that captures the spirit of its time in an offbeat way. You get this ragtag group of U.S. Army soldiers who are definitely not your typical heroes. The humor is pretty slapstick, which fits the vibe of the competition they're in. It’s all about camaraderie and underdog spirit, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. The pacing has a nice rhythm, building up to the competition, with some surprisingly decent practical effects sprinkled in, especially for its time. Performances are a mixed bag, but there’s a charm in their earnestness. It’s the kind of film that feels like a time capsule of military comedies, just a little rough around the edges, but that’s part of its character.
