SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

marsmitchell79 It's one of those movies that you watch the 1st time and you'll give it an 8, because your standards are not really high. The time that I looked more closely at the minor details, I give it a 4! Plenty of errors in the writing of this one. A prostitute claims she could not make out what the criminal looks like in the night, but somehow she's able to tell what's on his license plates from a distance. Then, her friend just so happens to be an IT tech wannabe, which she needs to find out who murdered her dad! The executress allows her mother to blackmail her over a murder that happened when she wad a kid! Then, she just so happened to know when her mom would be in the tub, despite being out of her house for 6 years or more! The director did not care about 20-something lady's acting either. When her dad died, she felt like she let him down and she did not cry! A husband dies out of the blue and he looks like he's been cut in the face.The stock option part does make sense(probably the only major part that does make sense), because the 2 execs really did not care about the company--only about getting paid. A problematic miracle drug would swamp a company with lawsuits, but they didn't care. The reason why it makes sense is because the 2 execs got paid and left-- regardless of what happens to the company.

music_maniacs I don't think this Movie was completely bad, but I think it could have been so much more. I feel it had a good premise, but the idea's needed to be developed on more. I won't write plot as this has been covered already but what I will say is development in a story is very important. Although the story line still progressed I think it would have made the movie more suspenseful, which I feel it needed in order to rate better. There were some good Scene set ups, but again they seemed to fall short in development before moving on, I was thinking I want e.g. more close calls. I enjoyed the relationship between Jessica and her Mum, the manipulation that was apparent. I think It had the most development in the story and helped me to understand Jessica's Character. The main antagonist in the film. I think what I wanted from this movie was more of a showdown between Jessica, Renee and Cameron. I think Characters whose reputations were on the line would have fought to cover up more, they weren't as intelligent as you would expect for corrupt characters. It had all the makings for an excellent Crime drama. Jessica had so much more potential, and while she was good I don't think she was excellent.

kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** The movie shows just how far people in power will go to get their way even as far a murder. Thats's what junior VP of Mickelson Pharmaceuticals Jessica Slate, Jamie Luner,did to get this drug Ezporine approved by the FDA after it was discovered to be fatal to anyone who uses it. It was the honest as the day is long Dr.Don Renfro, Gary Hudson, who got the news from Gena Ferris, Sophie Gendron, that her picture of health husband Mike suddenly dropped dead after using the drug.With the news of Ezporine not exactly cracked up what its said to be the wonder drug of the 21th century Jessica is desperate to get it approved by the DEA and make a mint off it before its found to be fatal to anyone who takes it! Jessica has no trouble getting these two sniveling "Girly Men" as "Arnold the Terminator" calls them to do her dirty work for her. By having Paul Winslow, Brett Watson,who works for the DEA to get the drug approved in her blackmailing him as well as getting her co-worker the gutless coward Cameron Finney, Linden Ashby,to whack Dr.Renfro before he makes his findings about Ezporine public. There's also the matter of Jessica's mom Hannah, Lois Dellar, who threatens to expose her shady past, in murdering her step father when she was 12, unless she paid her off with a new car and house in the country.***SPOILERS*** It was Cameron who after whacking Dr. Renfro with a tire iron in an all night Bowling Alley who was spotted by a local hooker,Cinthia Berke, who later described his rented red car to the police and Dr.Rebfron's daughter Renee, Ashley Leggat, who tracked the car down to have been rented by Cameron that spelled both his and his boss Jessica's doom. Interrogated by the police Cameron facing life at best and the death penalty at worse broke down and spilled the beans on what Jessica was all about to get a much lighter, 25 years with a chance for parole,sentence. Giving her big pitch about the drug Ezporine to an overflow audience of wildly cheering Mickelson employees Jessica slapped with a pair of handcuffs and taken away by members of the FBI and local police. That's for her to stand trial not just for ordering Dr. Renfro's murder but participating in the drowning murder, in her bathtub, of her mom Hannah's as well.

rps-2 This is not a bad film. But I have given it a low rating because it is yet another of these Canadian conceived, Canadian produced, Canadian shot, Canadian tax funded movies that cravenly ARE SET IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!! It is demeaning, embarrassing, frustrating and self- defeating. It is one thing when American companies come up here to shoot their own movies. But it is INFURIATING when Canadian film makers do not have THE GUTS to set their stories in Canada. They and the government justify it by claiming that it creates work for Canadian actors and film makers and that it is necessary if a film is to be sold in the US. NONSENSE! The Australians seem to turn out some pretty good product that is set in Australia. In this case, Ottawa was used as a set for a sort of ill defined New York City with American cops, American license plates, the American FDA and that surefire giveaway: American flags all over the place. Why didn't these billious wimps have enough self confidence to set their story in Toronto where there is indeed a sizeable pharmaceutical industry. (The story is about FDA approval of a dangerous new prescription medicine.)
