Sean Penn has been called one of the great actors of his generation. He’s won two Academy Awards, for Mystic River and Milk. One time he actually gave David Spade a tattoo of Calvin, without Hobbes (that is 100% true, look it up). Yes, Sean Penn has certainly done a lot of cool things, but he’s never been an action star… until The Gunman.
The new action-thriller The Gunman stars Penn as an ex-Special Forces soldier turned military contractor trying to clear his name, and in this explosive new CraveOnline exclusive TV spot, you can see Penn snipe, punch, shoot and scowl his way through one action sequence after another. It looks like he’s got the chops to us.
