The Cure

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.

This is the worst "action" movie I have ever seen. It doesn't deserve an in-depth analysis. It took me two separate sittings to finish the movie.

I am a big supporter of independent films and this didn't match up to you tube independent films.

The acting was corny, the buildups were predictable, and the smoke did not make any sense. It started as yellow but turned into cheap fog machine smoke?

I do not know what made me watch this film but it is not a surprise that it is not well known. Trust me, do not waste your time.

Some obscure television actors wanted to play in a movie and they chose this one. I can only call it a bad career move.

The basic idea of the film is that a "cure for cancer" was found. It not only cures all types of cancer concomitantly, but it is also a single molecule, easy to produce. The problem with this type of medicine is that it is a lot less profitable than painful drugs with side effects that rarely cure anything, therefore the evil medical corporation withholds it and instead pretends to always develop new, better stuff.

It is an interesting concept that might work if explored properly. Unfortunately we instead get a bunch of emotional "young brilliant researchers" running around the medical facility followed by incompetent bad guys while they explore their various insecurities and emotional issues. They also explore those badly, so there.

Bottom line: The Cure does a pathetic and predictable bait and switch, pretending to discuss the moral and financial angles of a real cure for cancer and instead giving us a low budget, badly acted, chase in a locked building movie.

This is potentially the worst film I have ever seen. Without spoilers, as there are no surprises

There are no surprises, the actors are awful, the storyline is questionable and it was a total waste of 1,5 hours.

Award for bad acting goes to this movie.

I seriously recommend NOT watching this movie. Not even the concept of it is particularly appealing.

There was no point in the movie that sparked an interest in me. Boredom and the fact that I bought the movie kept me from stopping it at an earlier stage.

Awaiting The Cure 2, where the same actions will be performed by different people in a different pharmaceutical company.

I'm not a big conspiracy guy but The Cure deals with one that personally I think is very feasible. I'm referring to the cure for cancer existing but it being more profitable to treat than to cure.

The story is powerful and heart wrenching, made even more impactful by just how realistic the concept is.

I was really enjoying it but was saddened to see two things take place. One character bounces from being likeable to detestable every other scene like I've never experienced before.

Secondly the story becomes a bit far fetched, I'd have rather have seen a slow burning thriller without the need for guns and explosions. The front cover even shows it off to be exactly that, but it should have been so much more.

The Cure is a USA/NZ joint venture and a passable one at that, but it should have been better. If only they'd kept their feet on the ground.

The Good:

Excellent concept

Cast do a decent job

Mostly well written

The Bad:

Inconsistent characters

Gets a bit daft by the end

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

If you don't think the worlds governments/big pharma companies would/will do this you're out of your mind

Not every movie need guns damnit
