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.

I only started watching this movie for the "presence" of Cuba Gooding Jr and Bruce Dern. Two of the greatest actors. But blink once with your eyes and you have missed their performances, it's that SHORT.

The bad: THIS IS A B-MOVIE. Everything from acting, story, sound, photography to eidting, everything is amateur night.

What's worse, to cover up the ridiculousness of this movie they started using lots of cheap violence, fake violence, but nonetheless gross violence.

Not even the slightiest funny. It is a big nothing burger. But I kept on watching hoping to see Cuba Gooding Jr and Bruce Dern, but I have no clue why they decided to star in this flop. Did they run into lower grounds, into financiial troubles. It's always sad to see great actors lower themselves to this kind of garbage...

The acting is sub-par, the dialogue is stunted and delivered as if by recent graduates of Madam Pickle's Backstreet School of Acting.

A meaningless soundtrack overlays everything - I got 16 minutes into the film before turning it off, going to bed and crying myself to sleep at the rapid demise of quality cinema.

I couldn't even wait for Gooding to make an appearance who might have improved the quality of this movie - I couldn't take it any longer than I did.

The script is full of clichés and don't worry, there are no spoilers here because I've already forgotten every utterance of every actor in this ridiculously bad movie.

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!!

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.
