Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Some obscure television actors wanted to play in a movie and they chose this one. I can only call it a bad career move.The basic idea of the film is that a "cure for cancer" was found. It not only cures all types of cancer concomitantly, but it is also a single molecule, easy to produce. The problem with this type of medicine is that it is a lot less profitable than painful drugs with side effects that rarely cure anything, therefore the evil medical corporation withholds it and instead pretends to always develop new, better stuff.It is an interesting concept that might work if explored properly. Unfortunately we instead get a bunch of emotional "young brilliant researchers" running around the medical facility followed by incompetent bad guys while they explore their various insecurities and emotional issues. They also explore those badly, so there.Bottom line: The Cure does a pathetic and predictable bait and switch, pretending to discuss the moral and financial angles of a real cure for cancer and instead giving us a low budget, badly acted, chase in a locked building movie.

This is potentially the worst film I have ever seen. Without spoilers, as there are no surprisesThere are no surprises, the actors are awful, the storyline is questionable and it was a total waste of 1,5 hours.Award for bad acting goes to this movie.I seriously recommend NOT watching this movie. Not even the concept of it is particularly appealing.There was no point in the movie that sparked an interest in me. Boredom and the fact that I bought the movie kept me from stopping it at an earlier stage.Awaiting The Cure 2, where the same actions will be performed by different people in a different pharmaceutical company.

Sometimes I see movies, where at the end i'm like..This could have been great with a bigger budget. This isn't that kind of film. The story starts to get very unrealistic way too soon. The characters make way too many stupid choices. So I just kept thinking "Why!!!??!!" Then there's the annoying looking in the camera. I love it when Kevin Spacey does it, but here they do it when talking to another character. Which is quite distracting and keeps you from really getting into the movie.O yeah and then there's the sound editing. It seems that someone sometimes accidentally hit the off switch while mid-scene. Really quite confusing

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.
