Who was Jack Ruby and why would he feel so incensed a day after the assassination?\u00a0 Hmmm.<\/p>\n<p>A similar event motivates the action in Pierre Morel\u2019s \u201cThe Gunman.\u201d\u00a0 Morel, a camera operator in \u201cTransporter\u201d and \u201cTransporter 2,\u201d breaks through into the director\u2019s chair in this adaptation of Jean-Patrick Manchette\u2019s popular novel, which has been translated into English and is considered a classic crime story.\u00a0 Manchette\u2019s said to be hearing the beat of a different drummer than most other writers of crime fiction.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s true, not much of an idiosyncratic nature comes across in the film version despite Sean Penn\u2019s attempts to create excitement as the man who shoots the government official in charge of the mines in the \u201cDemocratic\u201d Republic of the Congo.\u00a0 Some attempt is made by director Morel in the opening segments to show the savagery at work in the now ten-years\u2019 civil war with considerable mining wealth at stake in an otherwise desperately poor and hapless nation.\u00a0 Posing as a worker with a humanitarian outfit, Martin Terrier (Sean Penn) doubles as a hired killer who spends his spare time in the local dive with co-workers and a lovely girlfriend, Annie (Jasmine Trinca).\u00a0 In one of the movie\u2019s centerpieces of tension, Terrier sets up an elaborate piece of equipment in a building chosen to hide him while he works to put the mining official in the telescopic lens.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing that people want him dead (we find out later who and why, but suffice it to say that he knows too much and could release information that would bring down some high-up corporate execs), he flees to London and Barcelona. Years later he discovers his girlfriend married to a former co-worker, Felix (Javier Barden).<\/p>\n<p>Of course the bad guys who hired him find out the location and what follows for the remaining third of the film is your standard chase-and-combat scene, with some classy photography of Barcelona and a final showdown in Barcelona\u2019s bull ring.\u00a0 (I\u2019m happy to say that the government of Catalonia of which Barcelona is principal city outlawed that dreadful \u201csport\u201d of bullfighting in 2011 not only as an animal rights issue but also to separate itself from the rest of Spain and perhaps to seek secession.)<\/p>\n<p>The photography is splendid but the usual frantic fight editing is standard stuff, Sean Penn at 54 is too long in tooth for this kind of action, and his g.f. at 33 is way too young for his character.\u00a0 Javier Bardem is an embarrassment as a drunk and Jasmine Trinca\u2019s Annie is half-asleep, obviously drugged, and of little interest in climactic scenes.<\/p>\n<p>Now if the bull were shown to gore and kill the matador, who appears now and then to face a tormented animal already heavily weakened by picadors, you might have a better movie.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.\u00a0 115 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story \u2013 C<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Acting \u2013 C+<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Technical \u2013 C+<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Overall \u2013 C+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sp.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sp.jpg\" alt=\"sp\" width=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sp.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sp-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE GUNMAN Open Road Films Reviewed by: Harvey Karten for Shockya.
