The Gunman Ratings & Reviews
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
The Gunman doesn't shoot blanks, but it is never fully loaded.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Rarely, though, have two Academy Award-winning actors been so stunningly off the mark in the same movie.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
I object to The Gunman because it's unconvincing and incoherent.
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
A dull, generic retread, made far worse by Penn's self-seriousness as an actor, by the banal political pieties he's grafted on as producer and co-writer, and by the presence of a pitifully retrograde female lead role.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
I doubt The Gunman will do much to advance Penn's foray into action-hero bankability, and that's probably a good thing. He's too fine an actor to be mired in nonstop shootouts while flashing his pecs and looking scowly.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The Gunman degenerates into dreary setups for guns and gore. Penn merits more. So do we.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Obviousness prevails.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
The kind of throughly anonymous and undistinguished film that barely would have passed muster as a mid-2000s DTV project top-lining a third-tier TV star.
San Jose Mercury News
Tony Hicks
It devolves into a mess of worn plot lines. If Morel wanted to give Penn's career new life as a world-weary action hero, he missed his target.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Stars too often produce the kind of movie they want to star in, instead of the kind of movie anyone wants to watch.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
Part of the contract that movies of this sort forge with moviegoers is that the reasons for all the running and gunning won't get in the way of the action. "The Gunman" doesn't play by those rules.
Christianity Today
Alissa Wilkinson
The Gunman is a pretty dumb movie in smart package.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
The movie's veiled indictment of multinational corporate interests that generate unrest in Third World nations for their own financial gain also falls somewhat flat, taking a back seat to the shoot-'em-up histrionics.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
If the film's intent is to condition the audience into a distaste for violence through boredom, it succeeds.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Mr. Penn, aiming for weary, battered intensity, settles into a zone somewhere between fatigue and indigestion.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
A dum-dum action picture that briefly pretends to be about world aid before returning to muscular, middle-aged men beating the snot out of each other.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
I've pretty much always enjoyed watching Penn in everything, not despite of his hambone tendency to milk every moment of every shot but because of it. This stupid movie is no exception ...
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
OK, we've seen the biceps and the abs. Very nice. Now, back to the brain.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
The only redeeming feature about The Gunman is its exotic locations.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
I can imagine Sean Penn agreeing to star in this Taken knockoff on the condition that it educate moviegoers about humanitarian crises in Africa; it does, but the film feels misshapen as a result.
