The Perfect Weapon

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.

Really, really bad action movie, with even worse writing. Plot holes and nonsense throughout the movie. The story touched on a very good point in the beginning about, how regardless of politics, power corrupts told in an Orwellian fashion. The rest of the writing is cliché laden garbage so I have no belief that the writers even know that they had actually touched on a good point in the beginning. On a side note this is the worst "movie" assassin I think has ever been penned to paper, really you are going to go back to your home after escaping? Every actor spoke at the same speed with no emotion, it almost felt like Steven Segal was their voice coach. I struggled hard to find something about this movie that was redeemable but I found myself dreading having to watch the inevitable "boss" battle between the main character and Steven Segal's character at least it was brief. The ending, so painfully obvious from the horrible character development, I sat there waiting for the multiple double crosses. I wish I could send the studio a bill for my time watching this movie. The reviewer that called this movie malware or a virus was very accurate. There were so many executive producers I felt like they had to beg a lot of people for the money just to make this movie.

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 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

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.
