Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

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's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

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

Okay, there's a number of reviews here already ranging from horrible to mediocre. They really should be sufficient to give you the right idea. But on the off chance they don't...I started watching The Cure with the best intentions as I'd read no reviews. I figured it'd be in the same vein as Contagion or REC. This is not that film.Go ahead and watch if you wish. Ignore the warnings presented to you. In a digital era there's little harm in giving something 15 minutes. But! If after 15 minutes the alarms in your mind have yet to ring out "Hmmm this is a bit rubbish" maybe you'll be able to manage the rest of the movie and be amongst those who'd rate this a 5.

Good story but not much else was great about this. The music was mixed at 11 all the way through with little emotional nuance, and the music is way too repetitive. It kind of ruined what good there was in this. Absent sound design. The casting is bad. The actors exhibited barely any chemistry between each other. Unimaginative shot angles. Some ridiculous visual effects. Bizarre continuity and pacing. Though it did provide a few good laughs with classic B movie fodder distributed throughout. It's a pity because if a cure for cancer were found this story depicts a possible scenario for that eventuality, that is suppression of the cure. This movie does not help bring the realism to the possibility because it is so amateur. My advice to the David Gould, please hire experienced professionals in their respective crafts next time you make a film. In particular hire a notable casting director - many of your actors were not that talented or directed well and in the wrong combinations. The two Mexican 'guinea pig' characters were the best cast actors in this film, performing with strong characterization to match their scripted roles.

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.
