Good even readers, I have tonight’s dark story, Weapons under my belt. I mentioned talking about some movie bangers coming out and this one I feel is underrated. Weapons, was eery and I feel diabolical. Grab your favorite lickies and chewies people, and let’s brew about it!
The story takes place in a quaint town with a new teacher, where every single kid, but one comes to class. Of course the parents are distraught, their child is gone, and at the town hall meeting the parents are looking for a boogie man to point the blame. In my head, The kid was under YOUR care when they left the house, isn’t it your fault? Or someone else’s fault not the teacher showing up to work to teach your child? It’s not like she’s the Pied piper and stole your children, but that’s what they do. No one really knows this new lady and so it MUST BE her.
I loved that Julia Garner’s character, Justine Gandy, is gritty and not a goody two-shoed Disney Princess type. She’s loud, she’s angry and she’s tired of being treated like a villain and an outcast. However, her quest to find out how her remaining student is a flop and if it wasn’t for a one parent I don’t think they’d come to the conclusion that it is stemming from the remaining student.
This is where I find the movie cruel, and perfectly so, Alex, the child remaining, is under the rule of his aunt whom, has vegetated his parents using them as weapons to sway his actions AND has the missing children. With Julia’s character and the help of Josh Brolin’s chacter, Archer, the bring down the evil auntie with the help of Alex.
It doesn’t necessarily tie up with everyone home safe and normal but at least the wicked conceited bitch of an aunt bites it. However, Weapons, is a great flick to watch and make you jump, have you seen it? If you haven’t, why not?
As Always Keep On Brewin!
