    I admit I like some Movie with Steven Seagal`s but this one was tiny bit boring.
  • July 23, 2009
    Give Steven Seagal credit for caring about the environment and his country, but when will he learn that preaching doesn't make for very palatable entertainment? This time, he's a scientific genius (!) who must kick some butt as he struggles to find a cure for a lethal virus sprea... read mored by a white supremacist. Only for die-hard fans of the star, although it does feature a nice turn by stalwart character actor L.Q. Jones.

    Not at all like Seagal's others this one seems more like an "Outbreak" type movie with a little action.However,Steven pulls off his magic and makes it a decent film.

    I like alot of earlier Seagal films (Out For Justice, etc.), but this is absolutely one of the worst Seagal films he has ever made. I didn't care much for the "politically correct" spin on the movie either.

    Steven Seagal is another actor that I love watching his shows.
    He finds the cure for a deadly virus.

Steven Seagal as a Montana doctor with a strange accent. Yes, it is as laughable as it sounds. Full Review
