The movie not good as it claims, it mostly just filled with dumb plots and mostly just dumb chaos, the movie basically a flop, watching this is a big waste of time.

Boring dull movie
Who wrote this terrible screenplay??
Another virus movie that fails. This one is not about zombies but about corrupt businessman willing to suppress anti cancer discovery to maintain pharmaceutical profits. Who will win in this good guy bad guy shoot em up?!!!
The Cure: Good ideas, flawed execution
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
