18 February 2023
Director Tony Schiena brings us the action packed "The Weapon".

Dallas is a one-man killing machine on a mysterious rampage. His attacks on biker gangs and meth labs anger the Vegas mob boss who's holding Dallas's girlfriend hostage. But who is Dallas working for? Even torture won't make him talk...and he won't stop until justice is served.

Tony Schiena directorial debut and also stars in this as former special forces agent Dallas. We are introduced to his character through flashbacks of of a daring violent rescue of a women that was kidnapped and forced into a sex trafficking ring. His encounter is with a insane ruthless violent motorcycle gang. The depiction is terrifying and well shot and acted out by all involved to give an authentic feel of the situation.

We have so much going on here we have iconic Cubin Gooding Jr and things get really deep as Dallas takes on Biker gangs, cartels and the guy who is organizing this whole encounter Lars played by the always welcome Richard Grieco. Who by the way kidnapped Dallas girlfriend the beautiful and talented Anna Lynne McCord. My buddy Shannon Ritch has a fun scene as Sully, wish it could of been more. James Chalke a great actor has a very memorable performance. Check out the exclusive clip below.

What we have is a set up that just explodes with action and some of the best fight scenes choreographed that I have scene in awhile. It's such a breath of fresh air to see a movie with such adrenaline and constructed scenes.

There is such a great ensemble of actors here you don't want it to end. Tony Schiena had a challenge here on his first project. But he had a great team and it all panned out.
