Review of The Gunman (2015) by Metaguest — 23 Oct 2015

Awful movie. Sean Penn as love interest to a lovely young lady made me cringe. He looked like an old fart on steroids, lots of them. I had to fast forward through love scenes, couldn't stomach them.

Story was so ridiculous when he got spells from illness yet took out bad guys like there's no tomorrow. Snooze between dumpsters and good to go. Would have played slightly, and I emphasize slightly, more believable if they hadn't thrown in the brain damage.

Ray Winstone and Idris Elba were good; both should have had a lot more screen time. Javier Bardem overacted when he was "drunk and was otherwise still quite bland. Story very predictable in a lot of parts, clues as to what was coming were really in your face.

Yeesh, what an absolute waste of time.
