Review of Virus

Virus (I) (1996)
1/10
The lowest point in Bosworth's career...
20 December 2006
Brian Bosworth stars as a government agent who is sent to stop the outbreak of a deadly virus which has been dumped, also there are guys trying to steal to use for an assassination on a politician or something(It's never made clear) add in a lame subplot about Bosworth being an ex-football star as well as dull love interest subplot and you are in for an excruciating 90 minutes. Candian actor Chuck Shamata probably gives the best performance but his scenes are few and far between, also his overall character is hilarious since (as others have pointed out) that he comes off as Columbo and his death scene is hysterical, in that he does an exaggerated fall. Also the beginning is also hysterical in that it's so over the top it becomes hilarious. Sadly these are the only elements in an otherwise awful film, which is dull and horrible. So don't see it. After all there are far funnier disaster movies, and certainly much better made than this fiasco.

1/2* out of 4-(Awful)
