Trailer For Action Thriller THE WEAPON Featuring Bruce Dern and Cuba Gooding Jr.
A new trailer and poster have been released for the action thriller The Weapon, starring Tony Schiena in the lead role. The actor is also making his directorial debut with this film, and he is joined by co-stars Cuba Gooding Jr., Sean Patrick Flanery, Jack Kesy, Bruce Dern, and Annalynn McCord. The screenplay is written by Michael Caissie.
The synopsis reads:
Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr., Sean Patrick Flanery, and Jack Kesy star this bone-crunching action thriller. Tony Schiena is Dallas, a one-man killing machine on a mysterious rampage. His attacks on biker gangs and meth labs anger the Vegas mob boss who’s holding Dallas’ girlfriend hostage. But who is Dallas working for? Even torture won’t make him talk, and he won’t stop until justice is served.
This looks really bad. The acting is cartoony and over the top, and it looks like the lack of story is trying to be made up for with a bunch of cheesy action. I don’t think this is going to be good, but the ensemble of a couple of good actors does give a little hope. Check out the trailer and poster below, and watch The Weapon in select US theaters and on VOD on February 17th.
