The movie “Weapons” is a very intense drama/horror that shows how violence can impact people’s lives in a substantial way. The story is about a group of teenagers whose lives change after a fight leads to serious consequences. This movie has left many confused watchers in the theatres and has an unclear and complicated plot.  According to a review by Roger Ebert, the movie uses a non-linear timeline, which means it jumps back and forth in time, making the story a little bit confusing but also more interesting for some. This style helps viewers understand how different events are connected. The acting ability is outstanding and the actors portray the scared emotions throughout the movie. 

The movie shows how one poor choice can cause a chain reaction that harms all the characters. As noted by the New York Times, the film explores themes of anger, revenge, and the impact of violence on young kids. It is a dark and twisted movie and the complexity of it can really make you wonder. 

Although the movie is a hit, most audiences find it confusing and difficult to connect to. It may come across as melodramatic rather than impactful The Roger Ebert article also concluded that the film failed to reach the viewers and misses its mark. 

“Weapons” is a thought-provoking movie that challenges viewers to reflect on how violence and making irresponsible decisions can impact you. While the movie’s complex timeline needs careful attention, the film’s realism makes it a worthwhile watch. While I find this movie to be remarkably unusual I still enjoyed the plot and loved how the movie made me feel sympathetic towards the characters. I would rate it a 7 out of 10 for its powerful message, strong performances, and quality, despite needing to research for a better understanding and leaving me a bit confused.
