Review of The Gunman (2015) by Mick Lasalle for San Francisco Chronicle — 19 Mar 2015
Basically, The Gunman is a movie that asks audiences to sympathize with the equivalent of Lee Harvey Oswald — that is, an Oswald who definitely did it. Oddly enough, it succeeds, partly because the moral climate it presents seems so confused, but mainly because of Penn’s particular aura of irascible integrity.
He’s the most irritated action hero since Harrison Ford.
