In
America's constant battle against terrorism, the U.S. military needs
a new weapon. Nanotechnology, the use of nano-machines to take over
people's consciousness and to turn terrorist into suicide bombers
against themselves. When Detective Walker (Johnny Messner) stumbles
on the program, he realizes the program has already been abused and
used on Americans ....and the military will do anything to stop him
from stopping the program in Timothy Woodward Jr.'s Weaponized
(2016).
Walker
is an all American family man, a murder case falls into his hands of
an American Vet suddenly killed Americans in broad daylight with no
know reason and no memory of the incident and then killed himself
when caught and questioned. What he discovers is the Military
needing to get government approval to further the project and killed
Americans as an example to prove their 'project' works. And they
will kill anyone who opposes it or accidentally finds out about the
program. Now, Walker is the target ...and anyone, even his friends
and family could suddenly become his enemy.
At first I though
there was hope for this movie, but they didn't go far enough. The
nano-machines just took over people's minds, it would have been much
more cooler if they formed armor or weapons for the users or even
became sentient robot/being. It was one of those sci-fi movie with a
deceptive covers, a cool looking robot-like character on the cover
that was barely even in the movie. Mickey Rourke and Tom Sizemore
also star.
The
1080p 2.35 X 1 digital High Definition image transfer offers an image
that is manipulated, all over the place and annoying, so it is only
so watchable with the occasional good shot, while the
DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 5.1 lossless mix is more like it with a good
soundfield, but the sound is nothing special beyond that. Extras
include deleted scenes and a trailer.
