I'm not a big conspiracy guy but The Cure deals with one that personally I think is very feasible. I'm referring to the cure for cancer existing but it being more profitable to treat than to cure.The story is powerful and heart wrenching, made even more impactful by just how realistic the concept is.I was really enjoying it but was saddened to see two things take place. One character bounces from being likeable to detestable every other scene like I've never experienced before.Secondly the story becomes a bit far fetched, I'd have rather have seen a slow burning thriller without the need for guns and explosions. The front cover even shows it off to be exactly that, but it should have been so much more.The Cure is a USA/NZ joint venture and a passable one at that, but it should have been better. If only they'd kept their feet on the ground.The Good:Excellent conceptCast do a decent jobMostly well writtenThe Bad:Inconsistent charactersGets a bit daft by the endThings I Learnt From This Movie:If you don't think the worlds governments/big pharma companies would/will do this you're out of your mindNot every movie need guns damnit

It's a OK movie with an OK story.I like the flashback parts in the movie which is a big plus. Background music is good. However, the movie lacks depth in screenplay and lots of plot hole.The actors were OK. For the budget they have spent, we cant ask for great graphics. A better characterization for all the actors and more screen time for CEO would have made the film better. Its definitely not a 3.5 movie or worst movie I have ever seen. It deserves 6 for trying.I liked it because the initial 30 minutes were gripping and I will give it a 6 for their attempt.

Ironically, this movie was so bad that it gave me cancer.... I mean seriously, where do I start? Should I tell something about the terrible acting? Or about the fact that huge explosions went unnoticed by characters in the movie? Perhaps I should tell you something about lack of consistency?Now I can hear you thinking: perhaps I should watch this movie... Don't!Perhaps you're thinking: This movie is so terrible that I should watch it for fun... Don't!Can I get a refund?

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.
