The Perfect Weapon

My quick rating - 3,9/10. All I could think of watching this was "I saw the movie Hit-man". Well, if you have seen that, then you get the plot of this movie. Just a lesser version of it. Problem with this movie, somehow no one ever gets hit amongst thousands of rounds of bullets shot. Only time someone gets hit is with a single shot basically point blank range. Aside from the A-team-ish shootouts, there is Mr. Seagal. It is very strange, yet nice to say he may have started to realize his fighting days are over. He just uses his screen presence in this film. No fighting. I will admit, he worked well as the head guy. I won't say more since that would be spoiler territory. Unfortunately this alone could not save an obvious plot (if you don't guess the twist, you are new to the cinema) and very poor acting. Enjoy only if you want to, you will be fine since it is short.

I admire them for making this science fiction without aliens or robots but this is like a watered down version of a Hitman agent 47 video game character movies. I probably know one persons name. However what keeps this from being a 1 star is the odd shot or two with really good looking visuals of the city and i'm not talking about those poor looking videos on the screens. Those get funnier every day. This isn't the worst movie Steven has been in as there is somewhat of a plot to follow though I only know one persons name when this finished.

However this movie is bland, stale and boring. feel they should have spent more time making Steven into a villain that we hate. The last fight scene if I can even call it that was just lazy. The movie is just forgetful. Other than a few boring shootings and all. I question why Steven Seagal even signed up for it. Thankfully this is one movie I'm glad he's not in the entire movie as he pops up from time to time. I almost want to give it a 4 star for the ending but the hitman is WAY too boring and is just there if that makes any sense. They might as well have made the movie first person.

I love Steven Seagal movies, I am a fan of his too for decades but this movie was terrible, the futurist movies I hate and Steven plus took a back seat in it. Oh please Steven do not make another one. Plus to me he should have been the main person. I had to keep hitting fast forward in it to find him, until I just about got to the end. And there he was, just like special opt sniper that was bad too, he was hardly ever seen. And when get a Steven Seagal movie I want to see Steven, main person not in the background like some extra, as he was in these two movies. I do hope he makes no more of these kind ever again. Be in the front always and forever in your movies

I just watched The Perfect Weapon (2016)

The Hitman meets Blade Runner, think it sounds promising?? You'd be wrong! Johnny Mesner is no Timothy Olyphant and Steven Seagal is well, Seagal!!

The guy is so lazy here, he gives an aikido lesson sitting down!! Yep. Sitting down (he sits behind desks and tables in a lot of his later movies) then, there's the funny flashback of a young Seagal who is played by a stunt double with his face hidden in the shadows while he kicks someone's ass. God forbid he'd have to stand up for anything. As usual, we even him in a bed with a naked Asain chick too. In this one, he again faces off against the hero, and just to placate Seagal's ego, we see he's a much better fighter than the man we've been calling a "killing machine" for the entire movie. He literally kicks the ever loving out of Messner, who doesn't land a successful punch or kick on Seagal. He's just extra creepy here too, for this Zoner, he seems to be playing himself. He also has a brief monologue while massaging a naked lady to add to his creepyness.

The only thing worth mentioning is Richard Tyson (Kindergarten Cop) and Vernon Wells (commando) pop up and DAMN.... Sasha Jackson is hot!! Seriously check her out.

This had the potential to be good, but it's just dull Once you have seen Seagal on giant video screens talking to the city, you think you have seen it all!! Then comes the ending!! Just WOW!! I am assuming it was meant to set up a sequel that never came.

I gave it 3 stars one for its effects, which are pretty decent for a dtv Seagal flick, one of the stunning Sasha Jackson and one for the novelty of seeing 2 Arnold Schwarzenegger bad guys in one movie

This is a class B movie that is awful. The acting is awful. The action scenes are the only thing that kept me watching and they were terrible. I have seen many a movie that should have never been made or released. This is another of those movies. Who has the money to throw away and finance this junk. The plot stinks. The actors need help. I almost quit watching but my curiosity of how bad this movie could be took over. Most days I would have given up on it. Not much here and anyone who watches this movie will be disappointed. How many times can you kill or torture this guy? It's one of those Segal movies that just doesn't belong on TV or anywhere else.
