Antoine Fuqua

Director

Antoine Fuqua (born June 19, 1966) is an American film director known for films such as Training Day (2001) and Shooter (2007).

Directed Training Day (2001), which earned Denzel Washington the Academy Award for Best Actor. Fuqua has been active as a film director since the 1990s.

The available review of Shooter (2007) highlights Antoine Fuqua's ability to marry large-scale action with an explicit critique of American political and military choices. Mark Wahlberg's performance is described as solid. The film is noted for spectacular set-pieces and a conspiratorial narrative that undercuts patriotism. Overall the reception in the review is mixed-positive (3/5).

For:Fans of action films, political thrillers, and readers interested in cinematic critiques of US politics.

"Shooter" is one of those rare examples where action and the spectacular nature typical of overseas blockbusters converge with a critique (not even too veiled) of American political choices.
