John Henry Irons works in military science and weapon manufacturing. After a weapons testing goes wrong, he and his friend return to his home to start a new life. However, not long after they get home, they begin seeing reports of weapons they helped design used in robberies and gang wars in LA. It seems the fellow military scientist they worked with has set out to make his fortune selling military grade weaponry. So Irons takes it upon himself to fight a little fire with fire.

This is by no means a great movie,, and it does not stack up when compared to the MCU, DCEU,, or the other superhero movies that came out before them. However,, it's a lot of fun! While Shaq will definitely not be winning any awards for his acting abilities (though I think his done fairly well with his comedy roles) he's not bad in this, not bad at all. The movie is very entertaining imo. I luv how they poked fun at the fact that Shaq can't make free throws (not that I can either). Also really liked the Shaft reference.
