The Gunman review: Sean Penn Tries To Be Neeson, Ends Up Being Failed Schwarzenegger

By First Post, Mar. 27, 2015, FirstPost.com

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.

Sean Penn Also Has A Sniper Movie He Would Like You To Watch, Please

Vince Mancini, Jan. 21, 2015, Uproxx

It also stars Javier Bardem, who seems like he’s not hamming it up nearly enough. Bro, you know this is a Pierre Morel movie, right? Morel, of course, is best known for directing Taken, and Gunman certainly looks like Sean Penn trying to get some of that sweet, sweet Liam Neeson money (with a heavy helping of Bourne for good measure). I love picturing the Sean Penn version of Taken.

Anti-Gun Hypocrite Sean Penn Uses 'Cowardly' Guns In New Shoot-Em-Up 

Christian Toto, Dec. 13, 2014, Newsbusters

Sean Penn's gun collection got the heave ho earlier this year after he fell for anti-gun activist Charlize Theron. The actor famously dubbed guns “cowardly killing machines,” turning his own gun collection into art work in the process. Now, Penn is prepping his latest film, a revenge saga with guns a-blazing according to the film’s new trailer.

Sean Penn is taking a page out of President Barack Obama's playbook but twisting it to his own socialist-friendly liking. Obama has gotten plenty of mileage for blaming his predecessor for the country's woes.

Now, Penn is blaming Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro's problems on what the leader inherited from his predecessor--Hugo Chavez. Only Penn doesn't blame his late friend at all, preferring to spin a yarn about paranoia and relationships meant to excuse the late leader from guilt.

Confused? Wait until Penn compares Venezuela's collapsing economy with that of America's stagnant fiscal house. The Mystic River star talked politics with the little-seen Al Jazeera network and gave his views on the current Venezuela crisis.


President Maduro inherited a lot of the growing pains that were left, and the problems that came of a country largely forced into paranoia, largely forced into certain relationships that maybe are distasteful,” Penn said.

He added that Maduro is similar to Chavez in that he is “in love with his people and his country.” When he was asked if he thought the Venezuelan people were in love with Maduro, Penn said it was important to “be careful.”

“Are they demonstrating in Venezuela over oppression, or are they demonstrating because they’re on economic hard times? It’s the latter,” Penn insisted. “We’re all on economic hard times.
