Virus

What to say about this movie? Well, it's unoriginal, predictable, boring and all that. It's badly directed and acting can't be even mentioned in a same sentence with this movie.

So the great story of the movie goes somewhere along lines deadly virus stolen, me brave presidents bodyguard will save the day. Me kill the terrorists and so on.

What comes to action, one scene has burned itself on my mind: a car driving off the cliff and exploding in midair without any reason at all. Blasted cars... they are sneaky that way.

This movie is probably one of those, which are sold along those good movies every TV station wants to show, so it's quite possible to catch it from TV from once in a while, but don't go and buy it, because it really isn't that bad it would be funny. Spill is just that bad, that it's bad and the worst of it, it really is boring.

Its one of those sort of films where the hero does the lot-he kills people he steals a motorbike,he steals dynamite from the armoury,he slugs people left and right he blows up a stream which is travelling underground -belive it or not to the very area where the President is giving a speech-and in the end Saves The World!! The only thing he can't do is fly but he probably could if he donned a Cape! Its real lowest common denominator stuff which had over 500 people work on it nevertheless. The distributors must have been bribed with a big consignment of drugs-I mean people have difficulty getting films released which have turned out winners at the box office eg the biopic of Ray Charles was 15 years in the planning and making stages

I always liked Brian "Stone Cold" Bosworth, and will watch anything he appears in. Having said that, I would not care to see "Spill" (aka "Virus") a second time. Bosworth plays a national security chief who crosses paths with the usual government renegades when a truck full of illegal toxins crashes in a national park and the bad guys decide to cover up the incident, even if it means murdering a bunch of witnesses. You say you've heard this plot before? The action scenes are OK, but this one is a bare-bones thriller that appears to have been shot for video. For Bosworth fans only. For those of you too young to remember, Bosworth first appeared in an early 1990s action flick, "Stone Cold." Wrestler Steve Williams (aka Austin) later picked up the title of that movie and adopted it for his ring nickname.

Brian Bosworth stars as a government agent who is sent to stop the outbreak of a deadly virus which has been dumped, also there are guys trying to steal to use for an assassination on a politician or something(It's never made clear) add in a lame subplot about Bosworth being an ex-football star as well as dull love interest subplot and you are in for an excruciating 90 minutes. Candian actor Chuck Shamata probably gives the best performance but his scenes are few and far between, also his overall character is hilarious since (as others have pointed out) that he comes off as Columbo and his death scene is hysterical, in that he does an exaggerated fall. Also the beginning is also hysterical in that it's so over the top it becomes hilarious. Sadly these are the only elements in an otherwise awful film, which is dull and horrible. So don't see it. After all there are far funnier disaster movies, and certainly much better made than this fiasco.

1/2* out of 4-(Awful)

What do David Fox, Leah Pinsent, and Eric Peterson have in common? They're all great actors stuck in a bad movie with other actors with only a quarter the talent and skill they have. But that's not what turns me off. What turns me off is the fact that the plot isn't interesting at all. Even those three are bored with it! And what can they do? It's not like every producer in the country is after them for their next movie break. It's not like we have much money to spend furthering their careers either. They deserve more. I only saw this movie because they were in it. I just hope they appear in a much better movie, with more integrity than this one.
