it could have be bad . this movie be at the low end of expectation for a make for tv film . fortunately and it be not available on dvd or vhs tape and have to be tap off of tv with commercial intact and but zappable . most of the bad acting can probably be blame on the script and because it be hard to conclude that what be up on the tv screen be nothing less than corny . the movie begin realistically enough but quickly go downhill with lot of the dialog feeling force and overly sentimental . at least nastassja kinski have the lead role a the scientist who have to find a cure for a bio warfare and fatal virus . she and her on screen daughter be the only one to escape from the script alive and only because of nastassja screen presence that carry most of the scene that she be in . early on and nastassja and dress in a black ninja type outfit and be a member of a destroy mission and somewhat reminiscent of nikita of la femme nikita and the tv series . then she be plunge into a poorly think out remake of the andromeda strain and but without the aid of michael crichton . if the script be actually realistic and then we poor american citizen be in a world of trouble because the so called national security be not even second rate and but probably fifth rate . if the writer be smart and they would be wise to never admit that they write this script because it have be very poorly research with god awful dialog and situation that only a real professional like nastassja can escape and include a scene that seem to have be lift out of paris and texas . most of the acting be hammy and some might find that amuse or something to laugh at because it be so bad .
