Looks like Penn saw the success Liam Neeson has had playing an over-50 bad ass and wanted to try it out. And Neeson got it from Stallone and Schwarzenegger. Stallone and Schwarzenegger got if from Moses and Aaron. Apparently they all went to school together.

I didn't realize it was wat is it about? Been wanting to see that. Looks like Penn saw the success Liam Neeson has had playing an over-50 bad ass and wanted to try it out. Different movie, the sean penn movie is called "the gunman" im kinda looking foward to seeing it. However the OP is talking about "by the gun" which is a B rated mob movie set in boston, it just came to Netflix, i might watch it one boozy night but i dont have high hopes for it.

Is it worth it? I have nothing to do tonight so it's either an Always sunny in Philadelphia marathon or this movie. The implied love story I saw in the trailer might make it cheesy. Speaking of cheesy, the dialog seems like it might be too...

It wasn't bad to the point where you couldn't watch it, well at least not in my opinion. I thought it started off ok and it seemed like it could of been good if they had just tried to show him hustling to make $ in the modern age as a LCN foot soldier.
But the whole love story / revenge was ridiculous. LCN is all about following the rules. And obviously that never always happens.But he becomes a made guy and his boss immediately tells him to not get involved with that girl and what does he do? Immediately he does.
Could of been much better.

This movie sucked imo. It felt to me like movie porn for mob watchers and action movie people. I couldn't even finish it. Same category as Chicago Overcoat and Wannabees. I DID enjoy the new one with Paul Sorvino and Michael Rappaport, I forget the name of it, about an old mob skipper who gets out of prison.
