You know it’s all going to go tits up when Bob Swagger’s sniper buddy pulls out a picture of his hot fiancé just as the bad guys roll round the corner.

‘She’s gonna go to nursin’ college!’ he says. Yeah? What are the odds that you’re going to be around to see it, dipshit?

Cut to a few years later and Bob (Mark Whalberg) – minus one sniper buddy – is called out of retirement to help protect the president from assassination.

You see, Bob is an Ay-merican, and he believes in stuff like ‘dooty’. But as the mission is a vast conspiracy job, Bob also turns out to be living proof that inside every good Democrat is a gun-toting murderer just itching to get out.
