You take good actors, good movie technicians, cameras, lights etc. and you make a movie scripted by your sister's brother in law's hairdresser's pool cleaner. (Sorry for the slur, pool cleaner's of the world, you don't deserve it) Then you direct it while playing video games on three screens and randomly yelling "Action!" "Cut!" and "Print!" (Do they still say "Print?" Whatever) You hire an editor whose last job was making sandwiches, big sandwiches, overstuffed with filling. You don't bother with a composer, you have a soundtrack CD from some other movie, which you randomly add in, at inappropriate volumes, in inappropriate scenes. I suspect that if the folks at the Youtube channel "What's wrong with..." Attempt to do their thing with this movie, they will give up at the 25th minute of the movie as they've already made an hour long video!

Holy crap this is a horrible @#$@! movie. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH IT. NOTHING in this movie was good in the least please i beg you learning how to knit for the hour an a half runtime would do more for you then watching this. We could talk now about the cinematography, the lighting, the special effects, the acting, the story, but in the end there is nothing left to say. This was a huge waste of time, I wish I had watched Spongebob instead. Playing a moba would be more fun than watching this. At this point I'm running out of analogies. But the review has to be ten lines. So I'm sorry but. I'm never going to give you up, never going to let you down, never going to run around and desert you. Never going to make you cry, never going to say good bye. Never going to tell a lie and hurt you. Like this show did.

I got a simple answer for you, Detective. John Kennedy once said, "The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it." "And the path that we'd never take, is to choose the path of surrender or submission."

I have a weak spot for low-budget, straight to DVD, B-movies. Occasionally you'll come across such a piddling, unknown and unloved film, which surpasses some blockbusters in terms of content and design. But "Weaponized" is the first crap movie this year. I had a hard time watching it till the end. Actually everything is wrong in this monstrosity of a movie. There's absolutely no logic, performances are pitifully poor and the special effects are so bad it would be better they skipped it. This is an example that you realize afterwards that the idea wasn't so bad (even though it was used several times), but they screwed it up big time due to incompetence. I wonder why actors like Tom "Private Ryan" Sizemore and Mickey Rourke participated. For those two it's a sign on the wall.

It all starts with a terrorist attack on the Pentagon (with really awful special effects used on historical footage of the Pentagon). The son of Kyle Norris (Tom Sizemore), CEO of the company Black Sun, dies during this attack. This incident makes Kyle an avid supporter of the fight against terrorism. He wants to use the technology developed by his company, with the assistance of Clarence Peterson (Mickey Rourke), for this fight. This technique allows a soldier to briefly take over the consciousness of an opponent, so this person can eliminate himself and other terrorists. Subsequently it turns out this technology is being misused (who would have seen this one coming?) and it's time to bring in detective Mitch Walker (Johnny Messner) so he can save his family, humanity and the entire universe from a possible dictatorship. Intriguing, exciting and original? Nope!

It all sounds pretty Orwellian and the idea could have been the base of a vibrant, entertaining action-SF. What we get however, is a bland, uninspired, nugatory story, stuffed with hackneyed events, horribly choreographed action scenes set in a fake scenery. There was even at the beginning of the film a military vehicle that was made out of cardboard, according to me. The story is a mishmash of story lines, that were used already in several movies, linked together in a random way. It wouldn't surprise me that they have organized a raffle to pick any possible storyline and knit it all together. And what the heck was that tin robot doing there in the end? Firstly it looked terribly old-fashioned. Robots in "Robot Overlords" looked more high-tech compared to this. Secondly, the way it was eliminated, is too ridiculous for words. And why was it displayed in a prominent place on the poster, since it contributed absolutely nothing to the story?

I can be brief about the acting : painfully poor and extremely boring. Johnny Messner looks impressive when you look at him, but acting is his weakest side. Sizemore tries to be the bad guy, but this attempt was only partially successful. And I don't know where they dug up Rourke. He looked extinct and deathlike anyway. The most ridiculous part can be admired in the end. Despite they have to deal with a rather large organization that possesses a life-threatening, demonic weapon, the amount of troops rushing in at the denouement, is truly laughable. A collision with a pedestrian ensures that more police will show up. Luckily it was going towards the end of the movie, because the urge to throw a heavy object at my TV screen, grew rapidly.

Should you read somewhere "Weaponized" is an action-packed SF with a superb quality of images and sound effects, you can be sure that person has watched this film with an overdose of Prozac in his blood. Even watching for hours at leaves fluttering down while staring through a window, is less monotone and boring.

PS. Moments you shouldn't miss : An American soldier having troubles with land-mines. Benny Hill would have made a hilarious gag out of it ! And the car trunk on fire. What an amazing stunt.

The list of actors should be a warning... I think I figured out why this film was made... Steven Sehgal's film Sniper:Special Ops was released around the same time and a competing studio needed to throw something out in record time with little to no budget.

I know some of you may be thinking that this statement above might be overly harsh but, seriously, there is no way I could ever be overly harsh. There were redeeming factors: 1.) I enjoy train-wrecks and this is definitely one of them. 2.) Outside of the three main actors the studio skillfully avoided finding anyone with talent - Kudos to them. 3.) They spent 50% of their budget on special effects - if their budget was $10.

It wouldn't have been rated a 1/10 but was slightly let down by poor cinematography, terrible acting, ridiculous dialogue, poor locations, horrible sets, poor sound engineering, terrible special effects, shonky score and really, really awful ending.

Despite all of this - you really should watch this! Why? Same reason people watch new Steven Sehgal and Nicholas Cage movies - I don't know why else.

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.

This movie is terrible!

I got sucked in by the trailer, which made it look pretty good...

I can't believe how bad it really was...

A horribly unoriginal concept for story, TERRIBLE script and some of the worst acting I can ever remember seeing.

There are only TWO movies that were so awful I couldn't watch them to the end.... THIS one and a movie called "Nemesis" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107668/?ref_=fn_al_tt_3) and THIS ONE...

I stopped watching "Weaponize" at 55 mins....

It's a shame because I like Rourke and Sizemore.

Being able to defeat terrorists and others who are threats using technology that would make deaths on one's side negligible or nil sounds like a great idea for a science fiction film. Right?!

That interesting idea underlies 'Weaponized'. The film may be less than enjoyable for many viewers, however, as it doesn't reveal much about how the weapon is supposed to work. Without introducing spoilers, let's just say that the technology or the weapon involves people controlling other people through some type of transference. I may be mistaken myself, but the transference seems to involve the use of satellites. Viewers who do not make that inference or come up with some idea about how the technology works will likely find the plot ridiculous and they will not enjoy the film.

This film is a great example of the value of having viewers provide feedback on films before their mass release. If that had been done here the producers would likely have been informed of the need to explain the technology so that it would be plausible to viewers. A little explanation could have gone a long way towards making this film better. They would have also likely received some other feedback that would have helped to turn this movie from a decent one into one that is first rate one!

The moral implications of the technology envisioned in this film are also interesting to ponder: Would the world be a better or worse place if people such as Hitler or Stalin could be terminated with ease? And a good answer might be that that is complicated!

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!

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

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 movie is worst movie i ever see, nonprofessional scene, nonprofessional actors that shoot from ak47 like they play with retarded kid acting is not worth of look the movie i look 15 min and stop believe me you don't want to waist your time with this. i don't know what to talk about this horrible movie in 10 lines ???? just don't look it there is few good actors that is only reason i try to watch this movie but when i see how ISIS soldiers shoot from ak47 i stop watch movie i do not like it video editing and effect was so bad it look like star wars from 1977 but in that time that was best effect you could get it but guys this is movie from 2016 not 1977 so please work on your spec effect and video editing oh my god this is only 6 lines so i need to continue to talk about this horrible movie that i did not like it and i lost my time to watch it because no one did not watch movie and add 1 star they watch trailer and add 10 stars because trailer really look great but movie is bad

One of the worst movies in recent memory. Weak plot. Poorly acted. Poorly directed. Hard to follow. Very, very very weak.

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.

Iron Man meets The Bourne Identity. Weaponized is a tit for tat thriller that leaves you begging for more. With over 90 minutes of adrenaline packed action. Starring Tom Sizemore, Mickey Rourke and Jonny Messner.

The film takes place in the near future where a continuous war is happening in the Middle East. After a massacre takes place in homeland America detective Walker must go on a quest for the truth.

The concept behind the futuristic weapon that Kyle Norris (Sizemore) unleashes is really cool and makes you think about the involvement of private companies in warfare.

You have to check this one out to believe it.
