there is nothing to say. it is a terrible movie and very boring. script is terrible, fiction is terrible, acting is terrible, effects are terrible. an ordinary person with logical thinking can easily understand all the gaps about fiction. Even the beginning of the movie barely about the movie, in addition using expensive cars can't save you, when you use cheap cars to burn. Hot actress, hot scenes right this will save your movie?!. Seriously power rangers outfit? could not you come up with a better costume for super soldier? it is a waste of time to try to make sense of all those nonsense, actually in order to complete this review, writing ten lines for this awful movie is also very difficult.

This Chinese translation is totally incompatible with the plot, which clearly refers to the transfer of consciousness. Of course, this movie is out of the question. The detective film in science fiction jacket is still the one with no twists and turns.

sometimes there is a B movie that you "might" want to see based on character experience, or just because. This is not that movie. 57 minutes of waiting for the plot to reveal itself. You already have a clue that Catch-22 or some subliminal messaging is occurring, but you have to wait... .. and then? You wait a bit more. Then it's all too clear. You've been trapped in a theater with overpaid, underworked actors who are more interested in a paycheck than improving your world view. skip it. trust me. You can thank me later. For those that watched it anyway; answer me this. How many characters does Micky Rourke have to play before you realize he can't act? I'm not saying he doesn't readily assimilate into the ultra-plaid professor, I just wonder what damage he does to his body; bulk up, shrink down, bulk up, slink down. Obviously, this is a shrink down phase, but I'm still not buying it. "in the future" professors can wear many levels of plaid, and? exxtra long collars? I'm not trying to sound like a fashion nazi, but thankfully he was killed early(spoiler) The movie, the lighting, the rustybucket that is used for the setting, the script, the tech, the tech, well, you should have it by now... skip it. Have a nice day Jimbob

No clue what the hell this is talking about, basically it just saying the Blacksun company invent such of tech that can use A to "swap" with the B. And A can do anything or talk anything,as B will present.Crap stories and worse actions....don't waste your time to watch this. Many scenes is more like Bullsh*t! Such as a man can't win his wife in fight. A Cadillac can't catch a skinny guy on his foot...Actors are lack of skills... When you and your daughter was involved into a car accident..what the man do is hold his daughter in the rain instead of calling the ambulence...the shooters can't hurt the hero with several shoots but the hero just turminate his in two shoots...sodiers on the field keep getting attacks by the ISIS and the armored car would just become such a piece of trash with one grenade...and has not any weapons on it.....Just worse movie of the year so far....

What a wonderfully horrible movie... I've never submitted a movie review...but felt compelled to go through the hassle of creating an IMDb account just to give warnings on how horrible this movie is. Did this really make it to theaters's?? Sometimes you can look passed a crap story-line, if there's good action/killing. You'll be getting none of that in this movie. The acting is next-level trash can juice. OMG and the cinematography?!!! Whoever put this mess out really should be ashamed...if not, I'm ashamed for them. The best thing about this movie was reading all of the reviews...they were more entertaining!

2014 had The Prince, 2015 had Vice, and now 2016 has WEAPONiZED (my latest review). What's the world coming to? I mean are well known actors still defacing their own integrity? It certainly appears so. With its all caps title and unvarying combat scenes, "WEAPON" is the ultimate B movie, the ultimate sci-fi cattle prod. Its stars consist of a veteran trouper trudging his way out of rehab (Tom Sizemore), a Hugh Jackman wannabe (Johnny Messner), and Mickey Rourke in his most weathered state. In terms of direction, well Timothy Woodward Jr. fills the screen with tons of flashy, unnecessary cinematic techniques. He uses lots of close-ups, lots of slow-mo sequences, some jittery flashbacks, and an overuse of contrast lighting. Added to that, Sid De La Cruz's musical score is forcefully repetitive and "WEAPON'S" cop movie clichés are more than evident. There's stuff like the ticked off captain, the detective who ignores advice to stay out of harm's way, the same detective who gets framed for murder, and the protagonist who vows to protect his only child. WEAPONiZED distributed by Cinedigm Entertainment Group, was only put into circulation by way of DVD. That by hook or by crook, should've have never really happened. What we have here is a silly actioner, a techy misfire that's plot less in its concepts. Mounds of tired, computer speak and middling acting are in bunches. And oh yeah, there's an out of place, destructive robot to boot. I guess "WEAPON" is a body-swapping pic but basically, I threw my hands up in the air and at times said, "what is this thing really about?". The story (or what I barely gathered from it) is a conundrum, something about a damaged father losing his son to unhinged, terrorist activity. Said father (Kyle Norris played by Tom Sizemore) is a military contractor and his chief motivation is to develop a "robotic virus" capable of inhabiting any human being at any time. He wants to avenge his son's death all the while putting the U.S. in danger with his untested, dangerous technology. Walker (played by Johnny Messner) is the scruffy homicide detective bent on stopping Norris from his intentions. Taylor Cole (as Angela) plays Walker's sultry wife, Michael Pare (as Captain Doug Rice) plays Walker's salty superior, and Mickey Rourke (as Clarence Peterson) plays a professor hesitant on helping Norris with the savage Trojan Horse. Rourke's character is confined to a wheelchair, sports some nappy facial hair, and carries his fugly-looking dog around with him. Just think Ernst Stavro Blofeld without the Mao suit. Now the L.A. environment here is more congested than anything else. The special effects are shoddy even for a film about body swapping (this ain't no Matrix or Terminator 2 I tell you). And I think it's laughable how "WEAPON" takes place in the future but only a couple of years from now (like 2017 and 2018). If you're gonna shoot a movie in a futuristic setting, why not go with 2025 or 2026. The technological imagery in WEAPONiZED (just imagine the first thirty minutes of Minority Report) isn't gonna be on our radar two to three years from now. That much I can tell you. Having its original title being called Swap, "WEAPON" has opening and closing credits that are banal, dialogue straight out of every sci-fi film involving law enforcement, and a tacked on, happy ending that is nothing but filler. Eyes in every audience will surely roll to the back of their heads. Oh wait, this thing is never gonna see the inside of a movie theater. Oops, I forgot. In conclusion, "WEAPON" is a rare motion picture that has that seen-it- all-before feel and at the same time, doesn't make a lick of sense. If I had my druthers, I'd have all direct-to-video releases be saddled with a cease and desist letter preventing anyone from seeing them (that includes this one). Basically, if you've already viewed WEAPONiZED, it's your loss. You might as well be "exorcised" from its remnants permanently. Rating: 1 and a half stars.

well it has good story, but direction is awful, no logical explanation between some scenes lack of explanations make it very bad. its just collection of some scenes,not good movie at all. should have done way better. my opinion is with such powerful story and good actors this director should have done better. well directing sci-fi movie needs good imagination and logical explanations. when i watch it it had 7 IMDb rating,thats why i watched it,so we can rate bad and help community to not waste their time

This is one of the crappiest crap I've ever watched in my life. Don't watch this. The only entertaining elements in this film are: 1) Sizmore's acting, while over the top, remains the best part about this film. 2) The stupidity of whoever wrote, directed, edited and produced this piece of crap is some of the best comedy I've had the pleasure of observing. When a film is so bad, it makes you laugh it's ridiculous. There is no plot. It's just a bunch of amateurish scenes thrown together, with some duct-tape to hold the whole thing. These people must have had quite a party while filming this, because only drunk teenagers with a cell-phone could be filming this kind of "quality". I've played Call of Duty games that had a better story that this waste of time. And I have to warn you (spoiler alert, as if it matters): You are thinking "Mickey Rourke is playing in this. How bad can it be?" Mickey Rourke has total screen time of 10 minutes, 9 of which he keeps begging everyone in the movie to "leave me alone" while he's stuck on a wheelchair. Then he dies. While his tiny dog watches. And cries. For Mickey Rourke's career. Don't watch this, don't even think about watching this. Have a nap, your dream will be a lot better than this sorry mistake that passes for a film.

If you think people are joking, they're not. This movie is so atrociously awful it's almost funny. The acting, the filming & editing, the screenplay and dialogue: it's all absolutely crap. I'd say it's a saving grace for the film, but I still don't think it's enough to warrant *anyone* seeing it: the actual story behind everything is somewhat interesting. The conspiracy theory of the private military agency and everything they're doing *could* have been done really well, but unfortunately the poor cinematography, acting, and dialogue just make this a horrible, horrible movie. There isn't a single scene in this movie worth watching.
