Fernando Gonzalez (Jay)

Going into Weapons, I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd braced myself for a heavy commentary on school shootings and their impact, but the film quickly subverted those expectations with a surprising supernatural twist. I was impressed by the nonlinear storytelling, which was told effectively from the views of different characters. The movie had a great sense of humor, and I found myself laughing at parts I didn't expect to. The ending, in particular, was absolutely hilarious. Ultimately, the film is an entertaining and funny experience, but it's not trying to make a profound statement. It's best enjoyed for the wild ride it is.

The movie is not bad, it's decent and everyone in it is great. The standout is De Palma, very genuine and humble character everyone is rooting for. Good overall.

I honestly enjoyed this movie and I was not expecting to. It's a big cast, many characters but in the end you feel satisfied because you were able to learn about each of them from their interactions between each other and how they cope with the situation they are in. Movies with large casts tend to leave some characters out or focus on each for too long before moving to the next, etc. It feels very real and I like the friendship they have. A bit long but definitely worth it.
