Dr. Landis medicine woman, 29 August 2005
2/10
Author: rparker-10 from United States

From the gripping opening scene of the movie I was sure it was going straight to the B movie hall of fame. Although I'm sure the actors in the film have preformed in some riveting pilots their performance in this movie was below par. From the awkward sexual tension between doctor and patient, to the all so intimidating secret service agents the cast was horrible. To make the situation worse the flow of the movie was hit and miss. At times you could see where the movie was going then you would be taken across the street to bust the terrorists den and left wondering what in the world happened. The actual plot was somewhat believable; however, in this day in age it is hard to believe that terrorists could set up shop in the same building as the president and not be found. Also, it is amazing to me that enough antibodies could be produced for the 200 plus people trapped in the hospital, and in less then a week. I think the producer needs to get with the CDC and tell him the trick, because decades of science have not been able to find a cure. On a more positive note I sure am glad that Dr. Landis and the President are going to be swapping there own contagions. (lets see her whip up a cure for the gift that keeps on giving).
