Shooter, Next and Fracture

Three mainstream Hollywood thriller/action movies. What do they have in common apart from one word titles? None are emotionally challenging, but all three are well directed, well photographed in interesting city locations. Guns play a significant role in all three as you would expect.

Three heroes up against overwhelming odds. Mark Whalberg was efficient but one dimensional. Nicolas Cage seemed to in another movie altogether, but Ryan Gosling was great as the hotshot lawyer. That made Fracture the winner by a short shot.
