Details

When cattle mysteriously start dying of anthrax in a small Alberta ranching community, an RCMP officer tries to keep the peace as ranchers lay the blame on a local agricultural research center. A reporter encourages the angry ranchers - led by the Mountie's mother-in-law - to stage a sit-in at the research center. When an eccentric old rancher dies after being exposed to a deadly strain of anthrax, the protesters are quarantined. No one notices that the reporter has disappeared - along with several vials of the deadly bacteria. The RCMP officer begins his own investigation, gleaning information from a U.S. government agent. He finds himself racing against time to recover the stolen anthrax.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
pmlemmen Warning, possible spoilers ahead, read at your own risk. Then again, given the title, you can probably come up with 80% of the storyline already...This is an obviously low-budget thriller meant to play on people's recent fear of terrorism. If you set your expectations as such you won't get disappointed.Good points are some likable characters and seeing cancerman make a fool of himself. Bad points are plot holes, plot twists you can see coming a mile away and no apparent concessions to logic, procedure or even common sense.The timeline is rather vague, but why does it take several days for anyone to start checking entry logs? And why on earth is a country hick leading the investigation into an outbreak with the potential to kill millions of people? And why... Oh well, it's just a late night tv movie.Watch it if there's nothing better on, but don't bother going out to rent it.
patti-c I think the film was quite well done. It couldn't have been done at a better time. With the way things are in the world today, we could all learn some valuable lessons from this film. If we just take notice and stop and think before we jump to conclusions, things could be a lot better.
