•The film takes place in 2007. A virus has escaped military laboratory control. The world is divided into decontaminated sectors and quarantine camps. Suddenly, the virus mutates and a supermutant appears, hungry for human flesh. Four police officers track it down, including the fearless Lambert and the attractive Henstridge. The protagonist has a sick son and has bought a fake passport for the child to cross the border. If she were to be discovered, she would be sentenced to death....
Meanwhile, two special agents arrive from the contaminated sector who know the truth about the mutant. As you may have guessed, the subject is very confusing. The film takes place entirely in the dark in the tunnels of an old former prison. The screenplay, written by the director himself, is really bad. There is no psychological depth to the characters and any questions raised about the end of the film, sudden and banal, are simply forgotten by the director's incompetence. But that's not all: Lambert is completely out of character. He chases the monster without a real reason, putting his companions' security at risk. Henstridge, on the other hand, surprises, showing she can act (in this film, she doesn't even show her chest...). Endless inconsistencies, such as the mutant itself, who, revealed as an exterminator of highly trained and heavily armed special teams, struggles to eliminate four unarmed, disorganized, and demotivated police officers. Just as little credible is the fact that the mutant, for three-quarters of the film, demonstrates primitive intelligence and then suddenly, without any explanation, reveals the possession and skilled use of cutting weapons, firearms, and military strategy.
Conclusion: a boring film with a predictable ending and some banal splatter effects.
