People are voting emotionally.

Brilliant and touching

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The measure of a watchable film for me is how long it holds me; this one was about 60% until the soundtrack and the daft action got to me. The soundtrack is incessant drumbeat; sometimes there are layered sounds such as "music", police siren, sounds of actors, etc. but the music conquers all for its constant boring beat. The action from before halfway got really silly; we were supposed to believe that some hired guns would have sub-machine guns and other weapons as if going to war, and acting as if that was the case when it was just a trio of scientists they were up against. Really this was 2 out of 10 because of the above but somehow I was held, so there must have been something more interesting than the usual ... possibly some reasonable acting.

The few reviews of this movie make it out to be a horrible blockbuster. Take it for what it is, a movie that really should have been a documentary on the current state of the Cancer industry. Yes its a bunch of B or C actors you've never heard of, so? I was playing video games and watching the movie, so maybe it wasn't as bad to me because I wasn't 100% focused on it. Anyhow the movie is true to the idea that there really is a cancer cure and its easily obtainable, yet the drug companies make billions off not having a cure, so they would do anything to kill actual progress in finding a cure.On the other hand, I'm not sure how this was made into a movie, lol. If the topic of cancer interests you, this movie might also. Not worth your time based on actor performances, cinematography (the entire movie takes place basically inside a lab), dialog, or strength in plot.

Sometimes I see movies, where at the end i'm like..This could have been great with a bigger budget. This isn't that kind of film. The story starts to get very unrealistic way too soon. The characters make way too many stupid choices. So I just kept thinking "Why!!!??!!" Then there's the annoying looking in the camera. I love it when Kevin Spacey does it, but here they do it when talking to another character. Which is quite distracting and keeps you from really getting into the movie.O yeah and then there's the sound editing. It seems that someone sometimes accidentally hit the off switch while mid-scene. Really quite confusing

I was very interested in the subject matter regarding this movie. I do honestly believe that there are cures for cancer and other diseases, however the powers that be, do not want for these cures to be in the public domain.I wanted for this to be a good movie, such as Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman, however this really fell short of that, and to be honest I am being generous to give it a six out of ten.If you are into conspiracy then you will probably enjoy this film, as it will be the same subject matter that you read and believe in. If you are not however then the film is not too bad to watch and as long as you keep an open mind and try not to analyse it too much, then it is a pretty good hour odd spent on the sofa.Would I purchase this at full price. Honest answer is no. At a budget price then yes it would be a good shelf filler. Would I watch it again, yes maybe in a few months or more. It would not be a movie that you could watch twice in one week, unlike some other movies.
