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

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I'm not a big conspiracy guy but The Cure deals with one that personally I think is very feasible. I'm referring to the cure for cancer existing but it being more profitable to treat than to cure.The story is powerful and heart wrenching, made even more impactful by just how realistic the concept is.I was really enjoying it but was saddened to see two things take place. One character bounces from being likeable to detestable every other scene like I've never experienced before.Secondly the story becomes a bit far fetched, I'd have rather have seen a slow burning thriller without the need for guns and explosions. The front cover even shows it off to be exactly that, but it should have been so much more.The Cure is a USA/NZ joint venture and a passable one at that, but it should have been better. If only they'd kept their feet on the ground.The Good:Excellent conceptCast do a decent jobMostly well writtenThe Bad:Inconsistent charactersGets a bit daft by the endThings I Learnt From This Movie:If you don't think the worlds governments/big pharma companies would/will do this you're out of your mindNot every movie need guns damnit

short and sweet, packs in a lot of suspense. great for a one time watch. the only thing off about it is, maybe the lack of proper directorial skill by the maker or the lack of funds. it would have been a great movie with a few stars thrown in or some budget to produce a better exhilarating effect on the viewers. the story is great, but not as fresh or new as one would assume or like it to be. there is a cure for cancer found long ago, but has not been released for monetary benefit. the story revolves around how a group of people escape a laboratory after they have found the secret of the cure and the owner o the company tries to kill them without any trace of him trying to kill them. overall, perfect for a boring Sunday afternoon...

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

This movie had so much potential: A scientist discovers that her employer has the cure for cancer, but doesn't sell or publish it, because he makes more money by not curing it.The science of this movie is ridiculous in every possible aspect, but that's not the bad part. What kills this movie is the fact, that every single character is just beyond stupid: At one point 3 PhDs discover a very small explosive device (perhaps 20g) with a 15 minute timer in their lab, close to a virus container. Nothing stops them from just moving it to another room, away from the container, behind a desk etc. But they don't. Instead they nearly die trying to get into hazmat suits in time.Another thing that happens over and over again: Every door in the building is locked, because their key codes are disabled. They act seriously surprised every single time and never take the codes from the bad guys.Characters in movies often do stupid things, story lines often have minor flaws, usually no big deal. But The Cure makes it really hard not spending the entire time shaking your head in disbelief: All the "good guys" are standing right outside... why wouldn't they just open the window and go out or scream for help? It was still an entertaining movie, mostly because the female lead did a very good job, and it was well produced. But at a certain point the logic and character flaws made watching just painful.
