You bet. That's Sean Penn in 'The Gunman'.
Not that I have anything against the idea. I can't wait to see Penn in action mode. It's just disorienting to look at this picture. Is there really enough political gravitas in 'The Gunman' for Penn to chew on?
Script is by Pete Travis who has only done TV and the plot is fairly stock. From IMDb: "An international spy must clear his name in order to save himself from the organization that he used to work for."
However plain and direct the story may sound though, Travis apparently infused the screenplay with something good enough to entice Idris Elba, Javier Bardem, and Ray Winstone to join Penn.
Directed by Pierre Morel (Taken, District B13) who has a way with the camera, lighting, and editing.
At this point, just based on the above, 'The Gunman' looks must-see, can't-miss. Due 2014.
