Doug Reviews: The Gunman
Sean Penn tries to collect some of that sweet Liam Neeson money by teaming with Taken director Pierre Morel in The Gunman. Unfortunately, this doesn’t end up being a recreation of Penn’s movie-within-a-movie from What Just Happened. Continue reading

Tom Hanks shines as a mob hitman out to protect his son from his former employers when the boy witness…wait, Run all Night? Tom Hanks isn’t in this? No Jude Law? Ohhhh…I was confusing Run all Night with the film it rips off, Road to Perdition. Well, this one can’t be too far off the mark, right? Continue reading
