this be a movie of two half . this movie have be seriously over rat by some critic . it not a bad idea but there not enough here to justify a 90 plus minute movie . at best and it would make a fair and maybe hour long episode of the twilight zone or the out limit . the tension and confusion at the start well convey the panic and ignorance of those affected but once action be confine to the house and most of what be go on have be expose and there be little left to keep the drama go . the over reaction of character at time leave u feel like we be look at child rather than adult . in fact and the child in the movie be the only one not to over react . the twist and when it do come and come too late . i already hat everyone in the movie and be just wait and wait for the death to happen . the fact that the husband rather than the wife initially die really do not move me . the fact that the wife probably would not die do leave me feel cheat . she have be close to ground zero and expose for day so if anyone should die and then she should . for me and there be just too many occurrence that i find implausible . this be another movie that i will be happy to never watch again . a basic plot summary follow so you never have to go through the pain of actually watch this movie . the first half of the story be a tense and feral journey through one man experience a bomb and which later turn out to be dirty bomb and explode on the morning commuter crowd stream into los angeles . one of those commuter be his wife and his confusion and panic be increase due to the fact that they be new to the city and that radio report be patchy and that vital service such a electricity and telecommunication be not work a they should . we follow him around a he desperately try to track down where his wife be and a he prepare for the bad . shortly afterward and both he and the hispanic handyman from next door and who have plead to be be give shelter in this man home a his own be too far away to safely get to safely and finally finish seal the house and his wife arrive home . she be dusty and bloody and have a bad cough and which be put down to the toxin and microbial pathogen in the dust from the dirty bomb . she be naturally somewhat upset at be lock out but she be not let back into the house despite the difficult emotion and basic instinct involve . so now come the awful second half . she then she break one of the glass pane with her mobile phone that land on the floor cover in toxic dust thus break the protective seal of the house . the man of the house merely cover this threat with a blanket implausible act number 1 ( and possibly implausible act # 2 if you accept that no wife would risk her husband health in such a way but we will write that off a panic ) . rory cochrane then repeat his bug shower scene from a scanner darkly and but this time with a bottle of bleach and in order to cleanse himself from the toxic dust contact ( in fact most of his dart paranoid look seem to work equally well in both movie ) . he still leave the phone and dust cover with a blanket though . the handyman from next door decide that he have to get home and no matter what the risk and despite his early stoicism in the face of this episode implausible . the wife then find a child that have come out of a car with it alarm turn on and i. e. the child exit a car in the street and it alarm go off how do he get into it without alarm go off . who put the alarm on after he get in . implausible . the wife avoids police and army and helicopter patrol to get to and return from hospital and where the authority take the kid she find for treatment but turn her away and let her go . why then be we show and in early scene and cop take people off street by handcuff them and bundle them into van and but now find out that theyre ignore everyone gather outside the hospital . implausible . in the meantime and a specialist group of army technician and possibly doctor ( it not clear ) come to the house and question the sole occupant and take away a sample and for analysis and of the dust that be still just sit there under the blanket . wow and it almost sound action pack when i type it out . believe me and it be not . so and we now know there have be widespread contamination outside and we know that the wife be very close to the initial explosion when they happen downtown and we know that she have be expose to this dust for day and we expect that she must now die . we wait and and wait and and wait for this to happen . numerous attempt at moment of emotion later and the guy in the chem suit be back . they grab the wife and then . tell the husband that his non air condition house have incubate the bomb organism and the seal environment have mean that his house now have a deadly concentration of same . how they can tell the concentration of a virus in the air from a sample of dust on the ground be anyone guess implausible . they board up the house and with him still inside and and gas it inside a chemical control tent . the wife be tell that she will probably survive ( despite have just cough up a nice little lump of semi congeal blood ) implausible . the end .
