I couldn't stay from watching this flick due to Mr. Seagal in sci-fi genre and I really enjoyed it for some reasons. I like the visual performance of it - it's a new look for Seagal movie and it's with no doubt stylish and fresh. I like the characters and how they were played - what is rare as we are judging directly to video production - I didn't notice any that was odd or stupid but all the characters were well written and played. That of course was a nice surprise and that is a sign of solid production. Every sustainable character was in its place and actors did really fit. I ask everybody here not to judge The Perfect weapon in terms of A-list movies because of inappropriate levels of budgets, promotion, stuff etc. But in a raw of directly to video movies its really decent piece of art that makes a better impression IMHO than preliminary waiting. An effect was multiplied keeping in mind Steven's recent outcomes that were fairly blamed and crashed by fans. I would say comparing to Sniper: special ops, The Asian connection, Code of honor this flick is a really masterpiece (once again tribute to its budget, short shooting period and young director who makes his first steps in action genre). I base my statement on my personal impression during watching it. I mean that during watching ordinary directly to video you decrease the scale of your inner critic to accept the faults every time you suffer from some trademark lacks in professionalism that are usual things for this type of flicks. You just say to yourself: "Oh my Lord, they made that crappy stunt, doubling, editing, dialogue once again. When they stop treat us like that?" Rings the bell, guys? Thats why I rate The Perfect weapon high because I didn't feel like that during all the showtime. So my congratulations and many thanks to T. Paar and the crew who made a really entertaining flick with no excuses to the limits. Really good start in Hollywood for director. As for Steven's performance I truly believe that it was his best cameo after his appearance in Machete. Just watch his scenes with no prejudice, he really looks naturally and dedicated to his character. We got used to the opposite for the last time and that was young man - Mr.Paar who inspired Steven and offered him the role that fit his physical and mental personality very well so personally I could enjoy his short but decent appearance. Best regards!
