Journalist Ann Baurer stumbles on a top secret conspiracy
involving biological weapons. These weapons are virus carriers
- aggressive, virtually unstoppable and numbering in their
thousands - African killer bees. An unscrupulous doctor is
smuggling live specimens back to America on a passenger plane.
But they escape from their housing and run amok onboard threatening
to bring the plane down and spread the virus over a populated
area...
Flying
Virus is one of those movies that with a little extra
effort could have been half decent. You know your in for a
rough ride when the first 10 minutes sees some African natives
take on Uncle Sam. There are explosions and A-Team
stunts aplenty. Oh, and watch out for the magic grenades.
Two different grenades manage to kill the same native twice!
Or could it be that the same stunt footage was used in two
different segments?
Once
we get into the proper action we are handed the unbelievable
Gabrielle Anwar and Craig Sheffer. Sadly there characters
are so annoying that I couldn't care less what happened to
them, as long as it was slow and painful. The
only decent actors are Rutger Hauer, but he isn't in it enough
to keep you watching, and the unknown actress who plays the
air steward - watch out for her one brief, but funny scene.
The
cinematographer should win an award for doing an excellent
job, but the rest of the production is a bit to lumpy and
so is the plot - how exactly do the bees manage to survive
in an air tight crate?
It
doesn't take a genius to work out who is behind the whole
problem - it really is so heavily flagged up from the start
for the thickies out there.
And
you'll laugh hysterically at the end punch line when the hero
(Mr Baurer) is called Mr B! HA! HA! HA! Get it?
