this dystopian sci-fi movie was released by troma on DVD, and being a bit of a troma fanatic, i gave it a watch, expecting something more along the lines of kabukiman or toxic avenger. To my surprise, this movie about a future where super viruses run wild and those whose health care budgets exceed their worth are assassinated was politically charged, and well thought out. 3 men gather in a hotel room, each of them an assassin for the government charged with killing said infected people, and each of them tells a tale of their job. While the acting made me cringe in many parts, still worth a watch if you've got a couple hours to kill.

A breathtaking allegory of the world we live in, Viral Assassins, set in an undefined near future, shows the government's solution to the problem of a new terminal disease – they simply make carrying the disease a capital crime. Most of the film is taken up by a terrifying secret conversation that takes place between three people in one room; skinscrawlingly uneasy secrecy and mistrust, on top of the claustrophobic nature of the setting, make this a film that, in spite of it's modest budget, easily surpasses the tension and watchability of any major multimilliondollar Hollywood movie with a critical edge (in itself a rare commodity). In Viral Assassis you get nothing of the predictable plots that we know from visiting the multiplexes, in this highly original and unique film we are constantly on the edge of our seat until the unexpected climax. Highest possible recommendation..
