    This will be the only action film i may see all year and its because the "commie" is starring in it. It takes courage to express one true feelings of disgust in this gun loving, blood lusting world we find ourselves living in. Besides, violence sells, right. Hey, didn't the "jerk" try and rescue abandoned people in danger of dying during the aftermath of Katrina in New Orleans? Apparently the gun loving Capitalist government of the day had a slow time responding to the needs of Americans.
    I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.

    It cracks me up that the word "commie" seems to get tossed around a lot these days like it did back in the dark ages. No doubt "pinko", "razz my berries", and "Daddy-o" will make their return as well, haha! Probably not "church key", however.

    Talon Ted, yes, Penn was very active in humanitarian work related to Katrina.

    I'm not big on labels, but I also don't see anything wrong with taking someone - anyone - to task for what seems like a contradiction in actions vs. words.

    Someone's profession doesn't put a golden shield from accountability around them.

    I can't blame the guy for giving in and making a gun totting action flick. Besides, my theory is that a good nature d guy like Penn will do some good with the wealth he garners. He does seem to put his money where his mouth is. Hey maybe Eddie will be a bad guy or a cop and blow a few dudes away in the flick and then we'll really have something to discuss then, now won't we.

    What do I think? I don't care. I honestly don't give a rat's ass about Sean Penn's personal beliefs or the roles he decides to play.

    I hope Sean plays a Chicago PD in his next movie. I'm just saying.

    Never been a fan on this jerk/commie Sean Penn, other than when he played Jeff Spicole of course, but was wondering what people thought of his decision to be in this Gunman movie. Perhaps he is having rough times financially and needs a big payday?? Or Is he coming to the reality that he really is becoming irrelevant and needs to get his name back out there... A la his dumb ass "inside joke" comment at the Oscars . I love shoot em up movies like the next guy, but Hollywood phonies like him need to be called out when they so blatantly contradict themselves.

    Avoid shoot em up movies.

    Penn could have always just gotten rich and not cared. But he has empathy which seems to be lacking from half the US population.

    And I also heard that Jason P, in real life, likes chucking grenades at rebels from his whirlly copter in the video game Far Cry 4, even though Jason P supports regulation such as background checks and mental evaluation for fire arm purchases.

    Jason P is a total hypocrite. Fuck that guy.

    I KNEW IT!!!!!!

    in my opinion, to star in a movie glorifying guns and gun violence then vocalize how terrible guns are, is part of that anti gun mindset that it doesn't matter what you do, believe or say, if you're anti gun, that's a good thing. an example, the anti gun movement not wanting people to carry concealed, which is basically saying, people shouldn't be allowed to defend themselves, but that's ok, because less guns on the street is a good thing. or acknowledging that banning handguns won't get rid of handguns or handgun violence, but so what, less guns on the street is a good thing. being anti gun has got peoples minds so distorted that you can actually say, I don't care if laws don't work, I don't care if people can't defend themselves against armed criminals, let's do it anyways, and be completely content with yourselves because at the end of the day, you don't like guns.
    I do agree with whoever said it, that neeson is worse than penn. it's comical when you sit back and look at it. hey everybody, guns are so terrible, they're the worst thing in the world responsible for all this death and mayhem. oh by the way come check out my new movie where I play my usual badass self, kicking ass and taking names with all sorts of guns. I show in my movies that guns are awesome, cool, save lives, and are a completely necessary part of life........but don't forget..... guns are bad!!!!

    if I was an actor, and I publicly vocalized how disturbed I was about how women are treated, that women are precious and we really need to honor and cherish them, and in the same breath told you to come check out my new movie where I play my usual role of a pimp. where i'll be slappin bitches pimpin out hoes for money and just doing my pimp thing. no one would see that as hypocritical or at the very least counter productive? i'd just be an artist exploring difficult roles?? bull shit. but again, it goes back to that anti gun mindset, it's ok to glorify guns and gun violence as long as you're against guns at the end of the day.
    if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.
