WEAPONiZED (I) (2016)
4/10
THE PRICE OF FREEDOM IS HIGH
3 May 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The film takes place in the not so distant future. On July 4, 2017 an ISIS attack on the Pentagon kills Alex Norris, son of Blacksun CEO Kyle Norris (Tom Sizemore). About 12 months later Detective Mitch Walker (Johnny Messner) is dealing with a Manchurian style candidate who just murdered a group of people including a senator. Mitch starts an investigation and confronts a bunch of confused facts, simply explained using the word "nanotechnology" and not knowing anything about it or how it relates to the mega-Robot which had nothing to do with the main plot.

The film wasn't that hard to follow. Mitch was more confused than me. Mickey Rourke is now headed down the path where he will be competing with Eric Roberts for low budget shaggy bad guy roles. The robot at the end of the film provided us with a second climax but otherwise was just a silly add on. The drama aspect and soundtrack was on the made-for-TV quality. It attempted to blend science fiction with a crime thriller, but both aspects were weak making the film a bit boring.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Calls Arabs Rag-H@#ds for very poor effect.
