Stephen Hunter's series featuring retired Marine sniper Bob Swagger is really good. It might be too painful to see the screenplay butcher one of the original works, though. I'd like to see Point of Impact, but any of the Bob Swagger works would be great to see on the big screen, like Black Light, Time to Hunt, etc.
Swagger would have to be played by Billy Bob Thornton. I'm unaware of too many other actors that could capture that persona equally well.
You guys really make me want to go pick up one of Palahniuk's works. Working too many hours right now to ready something, tho...
