A rural Montana community is threatened when the FBI tries to arrest members of a radical militia group. The militia retaliates by releasing a killer virus into the air, sickening most of the local residents -- but not Dr. Wesley McClaren or his daughter, Holly. It seems that Holly is immune to the virus. As McClaren races to find a cure, militia leader Floyd Chisholm attempts to kidnap Holly so that his group can make an antitoxin.

This particular hybrid story doesn't work well with Seagal's brand of action, even if it contains realistic notes on both right-wing terrorists and biochemical disasters. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 11/15/2009

Blu B Jan 29 It's like part scenic Western, part mindless action movie, and a virus film. Unfortunately the next Andromeda Strain or Die Hard this isn't. The main strike against this is the completely absurd over the top ridiuclous premise. A small town doctor single handedly takes down a militia group during a virus breakout and gets a cure with his daughter being the cure while locating a secret governemnt facility and talking to an indian cheif who gives flowers to save everybody.....Just...what. The music isn't good and gives off like a bad soap opera over the top kind of vibe. Editing is subpar and keeps jumping between the bad guys and Segal's plot so much they feel like two seperate films. And I can't tell but it borders on being incoherent at points but I'm not sure if it's that or if it's just it's so ridiculous. Everything else is bad. Segal is probably the next worst thing besides the plot. He is so bad in this like just so out of place. It's a shame because the setting is beautiful. See more Christopher J 08/12/2024 ok movie but not enough action See more William D @Williams0604 11/27/2023 One of the worst movies I have ever seen. See more Carlos T 07/28/2023 Minha opinião: É a faze onde os grandes filmes deles começam a cair. Este filme é razoável, tanto que aqui não há tantas cenas de lutas, usa mais armas e o lado de dr. Imunologista. Onde um grupo fanático de uma cidezinha dos EUA quer dar uma lição nos EUA. Onde o próprio líder é o agente de propagação. O difícil que ele sendo agente, o vírus teve mutação e o antidoto, não funciona mais. Assim Seagal tem que lutar para encontrar a cura. E Eliminar este fanáticos caipiras. Nisso ele percebe que sua filha tem os anticorpos, e os bandidos também a querem. Como disse um filme diferente para Seagal que aqui usa mais as armas. Roteiro e enredo mais ou menos. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra alternativa Nota: 5 See more william d @Cardsrule 07/19/2023 Okay movie I would recommend watching it once but no need to watch it again after the first time.
