#I'mNotDavidNorMargaret, Film Reviews My Way 2015

54 Year old Sean Penn has been working it good, his body for a 54 year old male is insane, he has biceps and a torso of steel. In THE GUNMAN we see Penn in a weird love triangle in Congo which then one action turns into a 8 year later action sequence across Europe.

All sound a little familiar, ageing white male lead decides to get some action? Well yes it's directed by the same dude that gave us Taken (Liam Neeson has found a niche with these films) and starring an extremely irritating Javier Bardem as the other part in the love triangle, as Bardem and Penn fight for Jasmine Trinca (who looks great in a white shirt and no pants - we see this multiple times) love.



Overall this film is actually really below par on the action front. Unlike Daredevil (TV Series) which is a produced for TV series (Netflix - all episodes aired Fri 10 Apr) this film has no soul, no care factor and extremely weak plot. Daredevil shows action and good actors makes for great viewing.

Strong acting and strong action sequences are hard to get right so Daredevil should now be a masterclass for all those who come after and unfortunately the Gunman just doesn't fire in the same way a lot of other recent action films do.

Penn's body is banging, head still needs work but banging body, but overall this film needs a complete makeover not just Penn's abs.

I can't pass this film but it had it's moments so 2 not so rock hard stars for the Gunman.
