The Weapon

Absolutely terrible movie. The people in it cannot be called "actors", I refuse to believe they were actually paid for the job. Just don't bother, it's not one of those "so bad that it's good" movies, it's just simply bad, really bad. The CGI is almost as bad as the acting, the fire in one scene looks like it was drawn by a 4 year old in crayon. As for the fighting, well, if there was a choreographer on set, they really need to be looking at taking their career in a completely different direction. I've seen better fights from drunk people in Wetherspoons. My guess is there wasn't even a script for the movie. Someone just briefly explained the storyline and said, "Let's go, just do whatever you want to". This movie is definitely a 0/10, unfortunately that wasn't an option, so I had to give it 1 star, but please be assured, it is nowhere near worthy of that 1 star.

This is such a mess, it looks so low budget, and the script is very weak. There is a good performance by Cuba Gooding Jr. But the editing of his dialogue scenes are quite weak. As for the acting of the rest of it, other then the immortal Bruce Dern's scene is so abysmal its hard to watch. The fight/action scenes are poorly choreographed, and camera angles are so clumsy its obviously not realistic. Telling a story like this takes quite a bit of setting up, character history is vital. Yet here this about 4 minutes of history, which has no real connection other then clumsy flashbacks. Trying to make a film like this usually takes multiple rewrites to get the dialogue to flow. This looks like they rushed through it in a few days, or weeks.

I have many other criticisms but why bother the film is just worth it.

Wow! Was expecting so much with a few good names in the cast; but, this was baaaad. Jerky storyline told via disjointed flashbacks, stilted and trite dialogue, badly choreographed fight scenes, poorly developed characters...just awful. I started playing it and it soon became just background noise to pass the time while I did some mundane household chores. Just terrible. Sad to see Bruce Dern and Cuba Gooding lent their names and talents to such a low budget effort. I guess everyone has to pay the utility bills and a job's a job. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one, I'm not sure it was even worth listening to in the background....find something else that's worthy of your time.

When I tell you this is the worst movie you will ever see in your life, it's an understatement. I can't even say it's a C film, it's that bad. There's a little room for forgiveness due to this being actor Tony Schiena's (who also acted in this film) first time as a director.

But where there's no excuse is how horribly this was written by Michael Caissie. This is the most incoherent and inept screenplay ever written. The plot is so convoluted with ridiculous characters popping in and out with no backstory, reason or explanation. It's so bad, that the actual dialogue one tough-guy says is "L-O-L".

Then you have the worst editing I have ever seen - was this mess even edited? Scenes just end and another starts like the screenplay was shredded and randomly taped back together. The screenplay and editing need to be studied in film school on what not to do.

Don't be fooled by some high-caliber names being cast, I'm sure they are all regretting it - albeit the minimal scenes they had. The score was loud and overbearing, and all casting and performances including the action scenes, were amateur-hour cringeworthy.

I'm baffled at the production companies that saw the final cut and decided to go to market thinking this nonsense was watchable, because it's not. It's irritatingly and frustratingly unwatchable.

It's a very generous 2/10 from me, out of pity for some of the decent actors that had their names attached to this.

READ THE TITLE OF THIS REVIEW. I consider myself to be a movie buff and so when I saw that. Cuba Gooding Jr. And the OG Bruce Dern were going to be part of the cast I thought this movie "Should" be something worth my time. Well, I can tell you that this movie has reached a new low in my world of unwatchable movies. This is probably close to the worst movie ever that I have watched. There were so many issues with this movie it's not even worth my time to repeat any of them. Just read the other 1 Star comments that are here if you want to know more. From bad acting to a story line that leads in multiple directions to so many unnecessary actors, that aren't even required, to the worst plot ever, it just made for a REALLY bad movie. I wouldn't recommend anyone watching this movie unless you really have absolutely nothing else to watch and are forced to watch it. Definitely DO NOT PAY to see this movie as you will just be wasting your money and time. Who ever signed off on the release of this movie should be fired and never allowed to work in the movie industry again. As far as the director and editor the same goes for them as well. That or go back to film school and learn the right way. I'm sure a 5th grader could do better than this. As far as a rating this movie is not even a 1/10 but I had to pick something in order to leave my review.

ZERO STARS FOR THIS MOVIE!!
