Don't ever mess with another man's woman! Unless you're a jacked Sean Penn! Plus, who says that you cant play an action star after 50? Apparently all of the internet trolls who demolished this film. I just want to remind all of them, (as if anyone of them would read this), of Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Nesson, Statham, okay, not quite 50 yet. Seriously, as soon as you see Penn, you will be like, Whoa, he is ripped! This movie was a mix of Spy Game, Blood Diamond, and the Bourne movies, and it really kicked ass! There were some forced scenarios such as the love interest, and the reason he was set up in the first place, but good acting and great action! Basically, as we have seen many times before, a shooter on a job to re direct a political agenda is set up by one of his team. Now years later he is being hunted by assassins with financial interest. Of course, his old lady gets thrown into the mix, and in the end....just kidding, I wont spoil it for you. Good movie that was taken very seriously and the cast all fit the part very well. After I watched it I thought, "how long would it take to learn how to fight like that and how many more weights would I have to lift?" The answer, probably forever! Give this one a shot, you will definitely like it if your into action movies.
FYI: Javier Bardem was apparently paid $5million for this, and he is in it for about 13 minutes! He did play a pretty good drunk guy though.

Interesting. I had heard nothing but bad about this one. May have to give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteI know, it got terrible reviews but honestly I was really into it. Take it for what its worth, a typical action flick but Penn is really good. You should definitely give it a shot.
