Up and coming superstars
Nick Cannon (Drumline) and Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood)
star in Lionsgate’s latest DVD release Weapons. An
authentically depicted tale about a group of small town
American teenagers who become enmeshed in a series of
brutal, seemingly random, killings over the course of an
intoxicated weekend, the film was nominated for the Grand
Jury Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival.
Violent youth culture gets an explosive, provocative update
with the raw and stylized Weapons. Reggie (Cannon) is a
young, responsible African American man about to have his
first job interview. When he spies a shiner on his little
sister’s face, he becomes obsessed with finding a gun to
exact revenge. Sean (Mark Webber, Broken Flowers) comes home
from his first year in college to find that his old friends
Chris (Dano) and Jason (Riley Smith, Radio) are still
playing basketball, getting into fights, getting high, and
trying to hook up with high school girls. One day, Sean
notices that Chris has started to travel around town with a
shotgun packed in the back of his truck. Weapons is an
insightful study of teenage character and value systems in a
world where everyone seems to have a gun, but the most
dangerous weapon is the one unleashed by tender things
broken inside innocent hearts.
