    Great review! Also "Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw (a terrifying Sean Penn: The Angry Birds Movie, The Gunman)" made me howl

    I haven't seen it, though I'm a big fan of the Coen brothers. Not the only time Bardem (incidentally: his mother's surname) has played a cold-blooded baddie. I'm NOT a big fan of action movies, but I do like "The Gunman" (with Bardem being slickly nasty). m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug9x...

    I'll concede on The Gunman, but I've not seen 3 Days to Kill, if nothing else at least I got a new dumb action movie to watch out of this post. Also I love The Postman, best bad 90s movie blockbuster bomb.

He is sharp-shooter "Terrier" whose accuracy put paid to the Congolese Minister for Mines and sets in train a remarkably lacklustre thriller that sees Interpol and corporate greed now out to get him. Pierre Morel has assembled a surprisingly notable cast here with Javier Bardem probably the best of the bunch as the duplicitous "Felix"; Idris Elba ("Barnes") appears sparingly and adds little -…

    When an assassin becomes a target! It was not bad, but the same old stuff that we'd seen in so many other films. It was actually based on the book and directed by the 'Taken' filmmaker. An international project, takes place in three different countries, but opens and ends in Congo. It centres on an assassin who had successfully executed a high-profile job in Africa. But a few years later, after giving up those kind of work, all the sudden it comes back to haunt him when some unknown men comes…
