Forget Gun Control   In the same week that sees Adam Sandler
playing a grieving 9/11 widower in Reign Over Me, another lone
figure reeling from post-traumatic stress fills the central role
in the new Antoine Fuqua–directed thriller, Shooter. Named Bob
Lee Swagger and played with appropriately gruff machismo by Mark
Wahlberg, he's a former Marine gunnery sergeant and scout sniper
who's also lost someone special—not his wife or girlfriend, but
his spotter, Donnie (Lane Garrison). (In military terms, the
shooter-spotter relationship is about as close as two guys can
get without asking or telling.) Three years ago in Ethiopia,
both men were left for dead by their superiors when their
"unofficial" mission got officially all fucked up. Only Swagger
made it out alive.  Cut to the present and some shadowy ex-
military types (led by Danny Glover) who show up on Swagger's
doorstep with a really big favor to ask: They want him to kill
the president of the United States—or rather, they want him to
tell them, O.J. Simpson–
