It’s sad that Jeff Speakman was never able to obtain a full fledged career in Hollywood as an action star, because while his style of martial arts isn’t flashy, it certainly is fantastic to watch. Speakman had real charisma and passable acting chops to put him at the league of Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. It just never panned out. As a debut action film, “Perfect Weapon” is a fun and serviceable action film about redemption and revenge that Speakman carries on his own with flying colors. I wish we’d seen much higher budget fare with his later action vehicles, but at least his breakout is entertaining.
