Full Plot Details

A sniper on a mercenary assassination team, working for an unknown client, kills the minister of mines of the Congo. Terrier's (Sean Penn's) successful kill shot forces him to go into hiding to protect himself and the members of the team from retribution. This includes abruptly abandoning his girlfriend who has no idea what is going on. The assassination, paid for by a foreign mining company, triggers wide spread chaos and death in an already inflamed Congo. Terrier returns to the Congo years later working for an NGO, but eventually finds himself to be the target of a paid hit squad somehow connected to the ministers assassination. This leads to immediate deaths and the endangerment of the people working around him, and forces him back into hiding. In trying to discover who has put a price on his head, he begins to reconnect to the members of his old assassination team, including his old girlfriend. Always aware there is no path to redemption for his crimes, he is also periodically incapacitated by a type of accumulated and evolving physical brain damage caused by the hard knocks of his occupation. Unexpectedly, given the time that has elapsed, his reconnection to his old assassination team exposes additional intrigues with immediate deadly consequences. All of his years spent in hiding, have merely delayed the twisted end game that now enfolds.

Movie Reviews

One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekNothing but a standard-issue series of action tropes that grow more and more ludicrous as each tries to top the last.
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfPenn wanted to his own action franchise, but the production forgot all the basics, leaving the end result weirdly impotent.
Assignment X - 9/10 by Abbie BernsteinThe Gunman also aspires to be a character study, but apart from wanting to sort out the situation around him and looking haunted, Jimmy himself is not depicted in a nuanced manner.
Associated Press - 9/10 by Jocelyn NoveckOK, we've seen the biceps and the abs. Very nice. Now, back to the brain.
Star-Democrat (Easton, MD) - 9/10 by Greg Maki... A muddled, confusing mess built around a disinterested Penn, who seems to have decided his work was done when he left the weight room.
Seven Days - 9/10 by Rick KisonakLaughably sanctimonious for a Taken retread about a murderer who's too sexy for his shirt.
The Film Stage - 9/10 by Jordan RaupA muscular, passable piece of slick entertainment on the action front, The Gunman's ambitions are welcome, but could have used another polish.
AV Club - 9/10 by Ignatiy VishnevetskyThe Gunman is too disorganized and sloppy to make sense as political commentary or to work on the most basic level as a globe-trotting chase thriller.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin Clifford"The Gunman" does not hold up well to scrutiny as it rehashes subjects done better in other films, including Morel's first two features.
Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) - 8/10 by Brian GibsonThe pathetic gender politics, so common in dick-flicks like these, seem particularly simplistic and yucky here. Penn never manages the tough-guy shtick and the plot overburdens him with dilemmas. Director Morel can't offer any lights-out action sequences.
