The Gunman movie quotes follow what happens when one gun for hire tries to retire to spend time with his love. The action thriller was directed by Pierre Morel using a screenplay Don Macpherson and Pete Travis adapted from the novel The Prone Gunman by Jean-Patrick Manchette. The Gunman opened in theaters on March 20, 2015.
In The Gunman, Jim Terrier (Sean Penn) works as an international operative for an organization, a position that requires him, more often than not, to kill for a living. Jim wants nothing more than to retire from this position and settle down with his longtime love, Annie (Jasmine Trinca). But when he brings up this end to his employer, including Felix (Javier Bardem), he's told that there is much more work to be done.
So Jim revolts and threatens Felix with records of the crimes they've committed over the years in a hope that this will lead to their separation. Instead, this sets off a war between the two sides with Felix and company taking Annie hostage. With the stakes now extremely high, Jim must fight for his freedom and the live of his love.
The Gunman opens alongside a handful of high-profile films including Insurgent, Cinderella (2015), Run All Night, Unfinished Business.
