IE Subliminally (almost subliminally anyway), the association of Lee, formr marine and plot against a president rings bells in people's mind and they think "Well maybe that would be an interesting movie".

The context that I have found to be consistent since WWII is the National inSecurity State context of promoting war, national cohesion, maintaining predictable behaviors, and protecting the reputation of the govenment and the concept of authority with conditioning and counterpropaganda to neutralize hostile information.

A marksman (Wahlberg) living in exile is coaxed back into action after learning of a plot to kill the president. Ultimately double-crossed and framed for the attempt, he goes on the run to track the real killer and find out who exactly set him up, and why.
