Pierre Morel's "The Gunman" opens today in theaters and we have six new clips from the action thriller. The film stars Sean Penn in what is designed to be an action vehicle for the 54-year-old actor, the same as "Taken" was for Liam Neeson. Unfortunately, critics don't seem to be taken with Penn's new movie which scored a 15% rating on Rottentomatoes.com. Many critics are calling the movie a misfire that fails to measure up to the veteran actor's talent. Most frequently cited failures include dull set pieces and a muddled narrative. The film also stars Javier Bardem, Idris Elba, Ray Winstone, Jasmine Trinca and Mark Rylance.
Watch the clips after the jump.
