US actor Sean Penn, who won Oscars for his brooding ex-convict in "Mystic River" and a doomed gay rights leader in "Milk", turns action hero in "The Gunman" -- a thriller that had its world premiere in London on Monday. Starring alongside Spain's Javier Bardem and Britain's Idris Elba, Penn plays a former assassin whose last job -- killing a politician from the Democratic Republic of Congo -- comes back to haunt him. The film is based on a novel by Frenchman Jean-Patrick Manchette, and is set in the DRC, as well as Barcelona, London and Gibraltar.
