Finished this script by Nick Daniels.
A military weapon - nanites (microscopic robotic insects that can be programmed to go after a specific person and administer a lethal dose of toxin) has been stolen for a mysterious arms dealer named Arnison. Agent Frank Hobbs goes in search of Arnison...only to find Arnison's his estranged 26-year-old son, Jason.
It's all a case of mistaken identity. Jason is innocent and teams up with his Dad to save the day.
Along the way, we get other forms of advanced weaponry like smart bullets (can change direction or fly around corners in pursuit of its intended target), jet-packs and stealth suits (enables you to blend in with the environment, rendering you invisible).
It's all a bunch of hooey. It's amazing how Jason, without any kind of training at all, is able to thwart lethal assassins. It would be acceptable if this were a comedy, it's utterly preposterous since this is not.
The script takes itself way too seriously. Unfortunately, the reader won't.
