This story could have become a good movie, on paper it must have looked great. The story reminds me of " The Carrier(1988)" that was a fun movie, this one is not. The movie starts with William Hurt and his Wayne's World hair, dumbed look in his eyes and then you will know it already, this is another movie good old William slept all the way through... like in so many other movies he is acting like a zombie with his "I'am only here for the money" attitude. ofcourse there's more to make is a sinker, you have Peter Weller, quite a wooden actor but fun to watch in Robocop and screamers, gives the best performance of the entire cast but if you can believe the moves he make to see his son you are the type of person who still stays awake at night when it's christmas to see santa. The plot starts of rather good but becomes a tight budget chase movie combined with some MacGyver. I gave this one a chance for about an hour before searching for the remote controll and forward button.

Just watch "The Carrier" roughly the same plot, made with a shoestring budget but a hell of a lot more fun than this..

NOT worth your time, movie looks like a couple of students made it with the same budget as the rental price I paid for it in the local video store, anybody who's anybody in this movie dies quick or has two screen moments (Tim Curry //Forest Whitaker). Very bad acting, plotholes so big Godzilla could sneak through them, etc. The pitch for this movie could be copied and pasted on a napkin, but what the hell the pitch was for Half Moon Pictures if I'am not mistaken( No, I am not going to check it again!),could this be the same company as the infamous Full Moon pictures; best known for movies with killer dolls in all kinds of shapes,and men in rubber suits pretending to be scary monsters, aah, well I don't even wanna know this. The saddest thing is they used an IMDB comment for the video inlay ," Smart cross between "Usual Suspects" and "Shallow Grave". Two thumbs way up!" yeah right, in your dreams morons, these kind of movies are the sort I HAVE to watch alone because my girlfriend falls asleep after 5 minutes of this crap. Just read the video inlay, it's the best part:-)

A waisted Tommy Lee Jones in the leadrole, he's too good for this kind of movies, the guy can act... A very bad female lead who's nowadays doing her time as a guest star in episodes of Ally Mcbeal and very decent FX. It's a big budget movie that's fun to watch, what more do you want...? Ofcourse the sidesteps of racist cops and dumb ass daughters are something they could have left out of this movie but what the hell, flawed but fun!
