this film be actually pertinent even today give the threat of bio terrorism and and the threat of superbug and west nile virus and and sars . a a thriller and the tension be fairly intense . richard widmark and paul douglas be more than serviceable in their role . the domestic scene between widmark and his wife provide a nice interlude to the main plot . the actor in this film who most leave his mark be jack palance . his sharply define feature and seemingly easygoing exterior always wither way to reveal the avaricious and cruel man beneath the surface . the chase scene through the packing plant be impressive even today . recommend and positive .
