...need you to plan a presidential assassination," U.S. intelligence honcho Isaac Johnson (Danny Glover) tells ex-Marine Gunnery Sgt. and all-round super sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg). It's for the good of the country, of course: Seems that the CIA has a tip on a plot to take a potshot at POTUS; and Swagger, a former Marine Gunnery Sgt. who can nail a gnat from a mile away in a high wind, is just the fellow to get into the mind of the would-be Hinckley and prevent the fourth killing of a U.S. President...
Marine scout sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Mark Wahlberg) could nail a gnat a mile away in a high wind.

Grandfather Kwame paid the $150 entrance fee, and Delight was handed...

Or perhaps other disturbed souls copied his style. Often imitated, never duplicated, Zodiac was the Elvis of serial killers: he had brains, swagger, originality and a flawless sense of p.r. He taunted police and the press with phone calls, coded messages, swatches of his victims' clothes. Bay Area detectives questioned several suspects, but the killer was never caught. In what may have been his last note to the San Francisco Chronicle, he mused...
