Why Sean Penn, Why?


Youre making a movie with the guy that directed Taken and From Paris With Love?! Really? Youve turned down crap movies like this your entire career, and now youre gonna be an action hero? First that P.O.S. Gangster Squad and now this? Where have your artist sensibilities gone man? Please say it aint so.

I totally agree with you. When I first saw that he was cast to do a movie like this after the lame of Gangster Squad I got afraid that we are have a neo Liam Neeson. What a shame for Sean Penn is one of the most powerful and talented actors out there...

Too bad this powerful actor hates America

Is that any relevant? We are talking about his career not his political vision.

reply

Repulsive man and not aesthetically pleasing at all.

He never could act.

How will you go on?

reply

On the shoulders of giants like yourself of course.

Love you "experts", all slagging his choice off, when You haven't even seen the movie yet hahahaha!!

I'd like to point out to you guys that this movie also has Javier Bardem and Idris Elba, both of whom are great actors on about the same level as Penn, so maybe you shouldn't be writing this one off just yet.

It also has Ray Winstone and two time Tony winner and now two time nominee this year Mark Rylance. The acting is sure to be great!

Cannot agree more ...he he

reply

I have to agree, I didn't picture him as the action star anymore, but he played the role well, he is still in great shape, and I actually liked him better then the new guys hollywoods casting, Tom Hardy, Chris Pratt or any of these others...highly watchable all the way through, the action is steady but not over dramatic, similar to a Bourne Identity style fight scene. But kept me interested like the first time I seen Taken....

judging by the box office recipts...no one else did either kekekeke. i love a good sean penn fail.

He's probably short on money right now, seeing as he's been working with charity for the last couple of years, so he probably just needs to pay the mortgage on his house or something. He can still do more "serious" movies but those are usually released later in the year, when it's award season.

Plus, he looks *beep* badass on that picture!

This could be good.

Taken was a decent action film, for the 21st centaury.
