This was the first of the Dr Christian series that I ever saw and its an okay film. The good doctor tries to stop a epidemic in a poor part of town and gets mixed up with the lives of some of his patients. On its own terms its not bad, but nothing special. Part of the problem is that the film really requires that you've seen the other films in the series. Its clear that there is a great deal of back story and things happen that assume you know what went before (one characters worst enemy for example). I didn't know and there were a couple of times I was a bit at sea. I liked the film but I understand why these films aren't in any sort of rotation on television, simply they don't play as well as other film series. Worth a look if you want to try one or have seen others in the series, but nothing you'll miss if you don't.
