Professionally made

I disagree with most critics of this film. Is it Lawrence of Arabia? No. But it is well put together, if not original. Wagner is fine as a middle-aged professional. If the health and police were as efficient as they are portrayed in this film, we should be happy.

If you like edge-of-the-seat thrillers you'll love it.

There is a drug dealer who has been exposed to cholera but he dies of an overdose. Anybody who takes the drug contaminated with cholera will contract it. Anybody who eats food that has been touched by them will contract it.

An epidemiologist has to deal with her own demons and deal with hundreds of patients in all the hospitals in the city in order to control the outbreak.

Quite a lot going on

These outbreak style movies have been done before but this one is quite good for TV. The way the disease spread is interesting and also the way they found the source. There is a drug thing going on for excitement and a rescue in the woods. Lindsay acts well.

Worth a watch.

Lindsay with ham better than no Lindsay at all.

Must admit, one of the first in this screenplay's body count - the bearded drugs gang member - shouldn't have moved his eyelids when he was supposed to be dead but, then, these productions are expected to have reasonably competent directors.

But any TV movie with Lindsay is surely worth a look out of idle curiosity. Maybe she isn't the world's greatest actress and, doubtless, she could be more selective of material. I wouldn't mind having the opportunity to work with her.

way too slow paced with a dead plot

The movie never picked up momentum. Bad performance from most of the actors. Looked more like amateur theatre. And the music score in dramatic scenes for eg. while rescuing the girl from the woods was mundane. The film just lacks focus. Don't waste your time. I can't believe Paramount bought this movie.

The establishing shot for "Taipei, Taiwan" actually shows (now closed) Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, clearly recognizable by the runway configuration and the numerous buildings surrounding the airport and the end of the runway.

Medical Examiner: When they brought him in here I was sure he was another mule who OD'd, we got a bunch of them slit open like pigs for slaughter. Now usually I don't get people starting my work for me, but whoever did him made such a mess looking for the drugs I just naturally looked there first.
Dr. Hannah Cole: You sure cocaine was the cause of death?
Medical Examiner: Oh yeah yeah, the blood levels were through the roof, the stuff must've been almost pure. Listen, I know you don't get to look at ODs much, but I do and this one looked really strange.
Dr. Hannah Cole: You prepare a culture in a smear?
Medical Examiner: Mm-hmm.
Dr. Hannah Cole: Where's it set up?
Medical Examiner: Right here.
Dr. Hannah Cole: [takes a look] It's cholera. You ever seen vibrios?
Medical Examiner: No.
[looks through microscope]
Medical Examiner: Nasty looking, aren't they?
Dr. Hannah Cole: Who's this man?
Medical Examiner: Oh, who knows? He's a John Doe found on Canyon Road but you know nobody swallows balloons of coke unless they're smuggling, right?
Dr. Hannah Cole: Yeah but from where, and when? I mean we need to know everyone this man came in contact with. Now *you're* gonna have to be tracked for the next five days.
[dials phone]
Dr. Hannah Cole: It's Hannah, the body at the coroner's has cholera... yeah, I'm gonna have him send you samples to be cultured, meanwhile we need to alert every county emergency room right now. Mm-hmm, okay, thanks, bye.
[hangs up]
Dr. Hannah Cole: Police brought this man in?
Medical Examiner: Uh, yeah. You think it's more than just this one guy?
Dr. Hannah Cole: I sure as hell hope not. I need to know if you find anyone else like this. Okay?
Medical Examiner: Yeah.
