The Gunman review: Sean Penn Tries To Be Neeson, Ends Up Being Failed Schwarzenegger
It’s bad enough that there is a Liam Neeson film that borrows heavily from Taken in theaters this week, but as if that wasn’t enough, this week’s other release is a film that also borrows heavily from Taken. Only this one doesn’t star Neeson. Titled The Gunman, it has Sean Penn trying to pull off a Liam Neeson – that is, attempting to restore Hollywood sheen and glory to his ageing self through a generic action movie.
In The Gunman, Penn wields an arsenal of weapons, is at the center of a deception and on the run with a damsel in distress. He puts in a bit more effort than Neeson physically – he’s buff. Unfortunately, the muscles in his torso only make you notice how totally inert his facial muscles are. Director Pierre Morel who made the first Taken movie (surprise!) expands his vision a bit and sets the film, for no reason, in various locales like Africa, London, Spain and a host of European cities.
