The Gunman User Reviews:
Wow I loved this movie it was Superb in my opinion and I never pay attention to critics now-a-days because you can never trust them to a certain degree. I will say that this movie is incredibly well done and filmed. The film is directed by Pierre Morel who directed Taken and From Paris with Love so he a ton of experience with action style movies and it definitely shows. The story is easy to understand and cliché yes but put together nicely and while there is a ton of talking that just makes the action scenes even more desirable in my opinion. The acting was top-notch by Sean and as for Idris Elba and Javier Bardem they were in it here and there but not much and they did all right but nowhere near there performances of the past. The action is where it is at in this film there are maybe half a dozen action scenes but Phenomenal I must say that had me believe this is definitely an R rated Taken and it shows. I would recommend any fans of Taken and or Casino Royale to watch this movie.
