Weapons (2025)

Written & Directed by: Zach Cregger

Once you hear the narrator’s soft voice, you are easily drawn in. You patiently listen as you want to uncover what’s really happening.

The events unfold in unpredictable ways. You can’t guess what’s coming next. Every twist has its own shock factor. Whenever a new character is introduced, the suspense is also elevated.

The more you know about the story, the less you care about these characters. You only know their names and faces, but that’s just about it. Emotional connection is barely established to put more depth behind their actions.

The more secrets are revealed, the less you’re attached to the story. Plot twists tend to take over the narrative.

The movie focuses more on establishing the mystery than developing its characters. With all the loose threads, there’s no compelling theme to unify them together.

Despite shortcomings, the movie redeems itself with the ending. Your patience will be rewarded. Frustration leads to satisfaction.

All negative feelings are weaponized to craft a pleasurable finale.
