Director Matthias Titus Paar is accomodating action fans with another new stint featuring actor Johnny Messner in upcoming futuristic action thriller, The Perfect Weapon. Straight and to the point here (and obviously there’s no need to point out the differece between this one and Mark DiSalle’s 1991 film which should be obvious), clearly Messner shows out some great chops for this latest diddy from VMI Worldwide, so I would advise looking into this one simply for the fact that he’s the star. Casting Seagal here was a pretty good move to make this one noticeable to Seagal fans and some action fans, but here it’s obvious he’s co-starring.
Alas, and much like Force Of Execution in 2013 in which I’ll share my thoughts in an upcoming Now Available review, I have to give credit where credit is due here. Sure, Seagal is busy and keeping things moving for his own career, but let’s take a moment to see the kind of work Messner puts in here. The latest trailer dropped in recent days and it looks absolutely fantastic, in general, and a release date is currently in tow through VMI Worldwide’s output deal with Cinedigm, so we’re bound to hear something soon.
SYNOPSIS:
In a not too distant future, a totalitarian state run by THE DIRECTOR controls all aspects of life. All enemies of the state are dealt in the harshest way. Most of them are executed by the secret government’s assassins. The best operative is code-named “CONDOR” – an elite agent and hit man for the government. However, in his latest assignment, Condor fails to kill an opposition leader, and finds himself on the run from the very same government agency that he works for. This sets in motion a chain of events with unforseen consequences for all involved. But CONDOR just might survive the hunt because he is…THE PERFECT WEAPON.
Check it out below and keep your eyes peeled for a release date.
