“The Perfect Weapon” (** out of four) was a murky action melodrama set in the not-too-distant future where society is ruled by a powerful conglomerate and one hitman for the state (Johnny Messner) reunites with a former enemy (Steven Seagal) he thought was dead and this results in him rethinking his agenda and motivation for the kill. Visually dazzling at times, with art direction and production design clearly influenced by “Blade Runner”, but story and characters are hard to care about or get involved in. Messner is cool but one-note in the lead; Seagal is stiff and blank and in it very briefly.
