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.

Okay, there's a number of reviews here already ranging from horrible to mediocre. They really should be sufficient to give you the right idea. But on the off chance they don't...I started watching The Cure with the best intentions as I'd read no reviews. I figured it'd be in the same vein as Contagion or REC. This is not that film.Go ahead and watch if you wish. Ignore the warnings presented to you. In a digital era there's little harm in giving something 15 minutes. But! If after 15 minutes the alarms in your mind have yet to ring out "Hmmm this is a bit rubbish" maybe you'll be able to manage the rest of the movie and be amongst those who'd rate this a 5.

The few reviews of this movie make it out to be a horrible blockbuster. Take it for what it is, a movie that really should have been a documentary on the current state of the Cancer industry. Yes its a bunch of B or C actors you've never heard of, so? I was playing video games and watching the movie, so maybe it wasn't as bad to me because I wasn't 100% focused on it. Anyhow the movie is true to the idea that there really is a cancer cure and its easily obtainable, yet the drug companies make billions off not having a cure, so they would do anything to kill actual progress in finding a cure.On the other hand, I'm not sure how this was made into a movie, lol. If the topic of cancer interests you, this movie might also. Not worth your time based on actor performances, cinematography (the entire movie takes place basically inside a lab), dialog, or strength in plot.

This movie had so much potential: A scientist discovers that her employer has the cure for cancer, but doesn't sell or publish it, because he makes more money by not curing it.The science of this movie is ridiculous in every possible aspect, but that's not the bad part. What kills this movie is the fact, that every single character is just beyond stupid: At one point 3 PhDs discover a very small explosive device (perhaps 20g) with a 15 minute timer in their lab, close to a virus container. Nothing stops them from just moving it to another room, away from the container, behind a desk etc. But they don't. Instead they nearly die trying to get into hazmat suits in time.Another thing that happens over and over again: Every door in the building is locked, because their key codes are disabled. They act seriously surprised every single time and never take the codes from the bad guys.Characters in movies often do stupid things, story lines often have minor flaws, usually no big deal. But The Cure makes it really hard not spending the entire time shaking your head in disbelief: All the "good guys" are standing right outside... why wouldn't they just open the window and go out or scream for help? It was still an entertaining movie, mostly because the female lead did a very good job, and it was well produced. But at a certain point the logic and character flaws made watching just painful.
