The measure of a watchable film for me is how long it holds me; this one was about 60% until the soundtrack and the daft action got to me. The soundtrack is incessant drumbeat; sometimes there are layered sounds such as "music", police siren, sounds of actors, etc. but the music conquers all for its constant boring beat. The action from before halfway got really silly; we were supposed to believe that some hired guns would have sub-machine guns and other weapons as if going to war, and acting as if that was the case when it was just a trio of scientists they were up against. Really this was 2 out of 10 because of the above but somehow I was held, so there must have been something more interesting than the usual ... possibly some reasonable acting.

Ironically, this movie was so bad that it gave me cancer.... I mean seriously, where do I start? Should I tell something about the terrible acting? Or about the fact that huge explosions went unnoticed by characters in the movie? Perhaps I should tell you something about lack of consistency?Now I can hear you thinking: perhaps I should watch this movie... Don't!Perhaps you're thinking: This movie is so terrible that I should watch it for fun... Don't!Can I get a refund?

Some obscure television actors wanted to play in a movie and they chose this one. I can only call it a bad career move.The basic idea of the film is that a "cure for cancer" was found. It not only cures all types of cancer concomitantly, but it is also a single molecule, easy to produce. The problem with this type of medicine is that it is a lot less profitable than painful drugs with side effects that rarely cure anything, therefore the evil medical corporation withholds it and instead pretends to always develop new, better stuff.It is an interesting concept that might work if explored properly. Unfortunately we instead get a bunch of emotional "young brilliant researchers" running around the medical facility followed by incompetent bad guys while they explore their various insecurities and emotional issues. They also explore those badly, so there.Bottom line: The Cure does a pathetic and predictable bait and switch, pretending to discuss the moral and financial angles of a real cure for cancer and instead giving us a low budget, badly acted, chase in a locked building movie.

the CURE for cancer is already out there but the company wants to keep it as a secret to make more money..........this is a slow paced , no thriller , no action..... and no suspense at all,whole movie is predictable .... reason i gave 2 ,,,, is for the radiation suites because the were the funny outfits , how can someone cant design the radiation suit in 2014 as it should be ... .... a particular scene where bad guys blow the -6 level door was simple a school project graphics ... i laughed at 2 points ... 1 looking at the great radiation suit and blowing the door ,,,,, guns look plastic made .... there are many things i can name them but its not worth it ..acting is awful.... story predictable........ PLEASE Don't WATCH THIS SORRY MOVIE. Waste of time and waste of money
