Illogical characters, dumb ass writer!!


It's a shame it's a decent film and decent actors..Who ever wrote this must of had head trauma when it come to the characters..?

It was a decent premise that *could* have been decent. It wasn't. The writer was only one of the idiots that sucked this one hollow.

I usually like Mekhi Phifer, Missi Pyle and Paul Guilfoyle when I see them on TV or movies but Pandemic didn't do them any favors.

So much stupidity in this movie.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.

The movie was bad, I think Mekhi did a great job for such a poorly written script. His char was good, but why only one combatant??? And according to tropes, why only one with a compelling story line that usually leads to that black chars death? Why not a cool as typical hero good guy white guy trope? Or the asshole no.one likes?

These things are typical yes, but the idea of being creative is to find entertaining ways to tell scenarios.

I believe this is what Roger Ebert would have called an 'Idiot Plot'. There was nothing salvageable about this film. I give out one-stars more rarely than any other rating, (twice as many ten-stars), and this movie earned it's one-star like a champ. It takes a lot for a movie to be this bad; the writing and the directing are entirely to blame.

While it had good actors even they couldn't improve the quality of the bad writing this utter crap turned out to be, it was a good idea for a movie if they had made the characters more likeable and not made it a cam movie.
