About this movie

From the director of Taken comes The Gunman, a pulse-pounding action thriller starring two-time Academy Award-winner Sean Penn. It's been eight years since Jim Terrier (Sean Penn) worked as a black ops assassin and now someone from his old organization wants him dead. Pursued across Africa and Europe by elite hit men, Terrier is dragged back into his dangerous past as he engages in a relentless cat-and-mouse game to take out the man who betrayed him. Idris Elba, Ray Winstone, Mark Rylance and Oscar-winner Javier Bardem costar in a hair-trigger thrill ride the critics are calling, "Intense!" (Dave Karger, Fandango) (Original Title - The Gunman) - 2015 Open Road Films. All Rights Reserved.

I really wanted to like this movie because I've always liked Sean Penn he's a hell of an actor and the whole middle aged action star vehicle is very popular now. He gave a weird dry performance in this movie you could not get a feel for his character or really care about this guy. Very little action and what was was very substandard. In the end this lemon of a movie was really about Sean Penn being shirtless in 70% of it and showing how ripped his body was for being a middle aged dude.

Lots of action with some great 🔫 fights or should I say battles cause there long. The only thing I kept cracking up about was Sean Penn couldn't wait to take his shirt off every chance he got 😁 granted he's totally ripped and I'm jealous. I'd like to know his steroid regiment, ha,ha

The movie as a whole was a generic 'spy does job, gets out of the business then is ratted out'. The dialogue between characters attempted to emphasise background friendships but it came out as awkward sympathy. The action was okay and the visuals were a bit graphic. All in all the movie played out alright for a film I had zero expectations for
