The movie is called The Happening.The premise of the film is about a large-scale, cataclysmic environmental crisis that turns into a struggle by mankind to overcome nature. Imagine if nature was sick of our polluting ways and decided to restore Earth's natural balance by wiping us out. Imagine if we were powerless to do anything about it.
Plants starting emitting airborne neurotoxins that cause people to kill themselves. It gets pretty graphic if the script stays the same.

YOU DISAPPROVE OF MACHINE GUN FOR A LEG BUT YOU LIKE ROBOTS THAT TURN INTO CARS AND BOOM BOXES?!?
yes
is it that hard to grasp
wtf why?
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!
oh my goodness that promises to be positively delightful
I loved the book, now I'm all excited.
thanks bonk.

Apparently Ryan Reynolds has given up on it ever happening.
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!

robocop with titties!
what you got to not like about robocop sportin a rude pair shoeman
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!
you cannot walk on a gun
a gun is not a leg
I mean even a peg leg has more stability than a gun
and really
why the leg
you couldn't have put it on your arm
at least that's plausible
To not like this is to not like America.
look, I like Miller and all
but god damn what a terrible choice
fuckin' spirit beheading hookers and shit
I came here just to see if that movie would be overlooked. Good man.
The fact that you're asking for plausibility in a movie that replaces body parts with weapons really, really disturbs me.
all ya gots ta do is get a shoe with a little peg in it so it goes in the barrel shoe
cmon
think a little
besides, you can't be wastin' fools with no damn peg leg
