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.

Based on the novel "The Prone Gunman" by Jean-Patrick Manchette, "The Gunman" is a conventional action-movie potboiler featuring a roided- out Sean Penn as an ex-special ops agent and professional assassin whose violent past is coming back to haunt him. The plot also encompasses a tedious love triangle, with Penn and Javier Badem duking it out over Jasmine Trinca ( though at least that part of the plot is done away with in reasonably short order). Written by Penn, Don Macpherson and Pete Travis and directed by Pierre Morel, this muddled mishmash of romantic entanglements, geopolitical intrigue, endless shootouts and personal redemption tale feels halfhearted and minor-league at best, despite the high- caliber talent in front of the cameras. Idris Alba, Mark Rylance and Ray Winstone are also part of the cast, but the fact that the majority of the film takes place in sunny Spain (it culminates at a bullfight, of all places!) makes us suspect that the actors were looking more for an all-expenses-paid European vacation than any kind of cinematic legacy when they signed on to be a part of "The Gunman."
"The Gunman" is an excellent film in many respects. The acting is top-notch, with kudos to Penn, Winstone, Elba and Bardem. Penn looks as buffed and ripped as action stars half his age and handles both the dramatic and the action scenes well. The exotic locales are beautifully photographed. The jiggly-cam shots aren't as distracting as some in films, but are noticeable. Settings, costumes, props, etc., seem very authentic, from the gritty jungle scenes to the posh corporate offices. The central plot is adequate for an action film. It is embellished by several subplots. The protagonist, Terrier, suffers from incipient dementia, a consequence of spending too many years on the firing line. The corporate greed that fuels the central plot also fuels a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions and the NGO aid programs are sometimes subverted to nefarious ends. A romantic triangle incites various acts of betrayal. The dementia is a complication and an internal obstacle that Terrier must overcome that increases his risk, challenges and likelihood of failure. However, it's not an allegory for his primary objective, so it doesn't seem organic to the plot, as contrasted to "3 Days to Kill" and other films with similar plot devices. The humanitarian crisis in the Congo is so huge as to be mind-numbing. But it is presented in a realistic, detached, objective perspective. It's never shown on a personal level. It's easier to identify with and sympathize with one suffering child or family than ten thousand faceless victims on the other side of the globe. It also distracts from the plot unnecessarily. Terrier's past catches up with him when he returns to the Congo, but it could just as easily have caught up with him in Bagdad or Paris and it might have been more interesting. The romantic triangle works well; however, the film might have been more interesting and compelling if they had stripped away much of the Congo/NGO and dementia and focused more on the Corporate intrigue. We learn of two deaths that occurred entirely off-screen, but it's not clear whether they are part of the same past catching up with Terrier. There are duplicitous characters and an Interpol investigation that are largely on the periphery. We learn more than we need to know about the logistics and mechanics of drilling wells, but aspects of the central plot are given short shrift. Overall, it is an excellent film that could have been much better if the producers had spent less effort giving visibility to the humanitarian crisis, and had instead given the plot a little more attention and complexity. A solid action film that becomes distracted by a social/political agenda
The lack of any visual ingenuity, reflexivity, or awareness of genre tropes diminishes the intermittent pleasures of the action's slightly involving kineticism.
