Review of The Gunman (2015) by Manny C — 11 Apr 2015
Not that Sean Penn going Liam Neeson on motherfuckers is a bad thing. Penn is 54 but in fine shape. As a producer, he's hired Taken director Pierre Morel, terrific actors in Idris Elba and Javier Bardem and co-wrote the script about Jim Terrier, an ex-mercenary atoning for past sins in the Congo.
Not that any of those ingredients mix to make for good movie. The Gunman quickly devolves into groan-inducing setups for guns and gore. Penn can do better and we deserve more.
