The Gunman is a 2015 action thriller directed by Pierre Morel and starring Sean Penn, Idris Elba, and Jasmine Trinca. The movie is based on the novel The Prone Gunman by Jean-Patrick Manchette. The movie follows the story of Jim Terrier (played by Sean Penn), a former Special Forces soldier who is now working as a security contractor in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Terrier is part of a team tasked with protecting a mining operation in Congo, but the situation turns violent when the team is attacked by unknown assailants. Terrier manages to kill the attackers, but the incident sets in motion a chain of events that will change his life forever.

Eight years later, Terrier returns to Europe to reconnect with his former girlfriend, Annie (played by Jasmine Trinca). However, Terrier soon realizes that someone is trying to kill him. He discovers that the attack in Congo was not a random incident but a targeted assassination attempt. Terrier's former employer wants him dead, and he must go on the run to save his life.

With the help of an old friend, Felix (played by Javier Bardem), Terrier begins to investigate who wants him dead and why. He soon discovers that his former employer was involved in a conspiracy to assassinate a government official and that Terrier was the triggerman. Terrier decides to seek redemption for his past sins by taking down his former employer and exposing the conspiracy.

However, Terrier's quest for redemption is complicated by the fact that he is suffering from a rare neurological condition that causes him to experience sudden, violent outbursts. This condition puts himself and those around him in danger, making his mission even more challenging.

The movie is filled with intense action sequences, including shootouts, car chases, and hand-to-hand combat. The Gunman also explores themes of redemption, loyalty, and betrayal. Sean Penn delivers a powerful performance as Jim Terrier, a man desperate to make amends for his past mistakes. Idris Elba plays Terrier's former colleague and friend, who helps him on his mission. Jasmine Trinca delivers a strong performance as Annie, Terrier's former girlfriend caught up in the crossfire.

Overall, The Gunman is a gripping action thriller with a compelling story and strong performances from its cast. It's a movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

The Gunman is a 2015 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 55 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.8 and a MetaScore of 39.
