Synopsis

Former special forces soldier and military contractor Jim Terrier (Sean Penn) is haunted by his murky past, in which he did more harm than good. His friend Stan (Ray Winstone) suggests exposing the organisation he worked for, using incriminating footage he recorded secretly. But Terrier is then betrayed and becomes the target of some of the most ruthless operatives on the planet. Desperate to clear his name, he flees across Europe in a deadly game of cat and mouse. The danger soon spreads to those close to him, especially his girlfriend (Jasmine Trinca). Director Pierre Morel transformed Liam Neeson into one of the world's leading action stars with 'Taken'. Now he does the same for Sean Penn with this gripping adaptation of cool French crime writer Jean-Patrick Manchette's novel 'The Prone Gunman'.
