Wonderful character development!

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

An Exercise In Nonsense

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

After a successful treatment of cancer of the girl Jaime Roland (Talia- Lynn Prairie), the former hacker Stephen Roland (Billy Wirth) is convinced by Dr. Caine (David Jean Thomas) to let her be submitted to a MRI scanner by the specialist Dr. Colleen O'Brian (Maeve Quinlan) to check that she is totally cured. During the examination, Jaime has seizure and dies. Stephen has a meeting with the Director Dr. Jamison (Michael Ensign) and requests explanations about the death of his daughter. He claims malpractice or malfunction of the equipment and Dr. Jamison tells that only after the autopsy it would be possible to know the true cause. Further, he introduces the responsible for the experimental MRI equipment Al Bercovicci (Philip Boyd) that explains that the equipment is working perfectly. After the autopsy, Dr. Jamison accuses Dr. Caine of malpractice and tells that the girl had several tumors in her head. However Stephen does not buy the story and teams-up with Colleen. He uses his computer knowledge to investigate and finds a complex of power and economical interests involved to approve the scanner and buy it. "The Drone Virus" is a thriller with a good story but poor screenplay. The plot begins with the testimony of relatives of patients' victim of cancer that have no association with the story. The screenplay is confused with plot points and despite the unexpected last one, it could be better and better. The gorgeous Maeve Quinlan is an attraction of this film. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Contaminação" ("Contamination")

This is a taught sci-fi thriller starring the beautiful Maeve Quinlan and Billy Wirth. This movie preys on our fear of the unknown, in the form of a computer virus that can make the machines designed to heal us, kill us. What a surprise ending also, didn't see it coming. There are some good plot twists and you really feel empathy to the victims of the scheme. It is fantastic to see a movie in which the computers that people use are real, not all just Apple paid commercials, and the use a a Palm Pilot VII was perfect in the setting of a hospital. Billy Wirth is too underrated, he is an excellent actor and was a very believable lead character in this movie. All in all a fun movie with the amazing Maeve Quinlan.

This movie begins like an infomercial of compelling people who are desperately seeking a cure for cancer. Then suddenly, all compelling is completely shut off as the movie moves to the medical facility that is most often lifeless, empty, bland, basically your low-budget set. Yes, medical environments are clinical, but the harsh contrast of this place made it impossible for any of the actor's craft to come across as convincing. Except for the bad guys, bad backgrounds, lighting, make them more convincing. Plus, the main characters were all depicted as easy and willing to compromise. How are you expected to like any character who can't be trusted at the beginning?The concept of menace is all over the place, is it the machine or is it greed or ignorance that is behind the terrible mishap of unexpected deaths involving the MRI? Thriller takes a long, slow, boring walk throughout the entire movie.

Well, this is almost virgin territory. The only comments about this movie that I could find were in German. Not a promising start.It is about a little girl who dies during an MRI. The father tries to find out why, but the hospital stymies his investigation. Nothing original here; just a run-of-the-mill thriller.Nothing exciting happens until Christa Campbell walks into the room. They head back to his room so the good doctor can give her a breast exam. She is not appreciative.Billy Wirth and Maeve Quinlan just seem to go through the motions. There was nothing expressive in either performance.
