*spoilers*
This huge let down of a film parrots a familiar status quo meme: government is right and good, but fringe health solutions are "bad" and don't work.
In the movie, the government eventually finds a vaccine cure, while a fringe online journalist played by Jude Law promotes a homeopathic remedy that is cheap and doesn't line the pockets of the pharmeceuticals.
While the movie seemingly begins to formulate a provocative message about Big Pharma, it ABRUPTLY ENDS, leaving us with the implication that Jude Law's character had lied in telling his online fans that his alternative therapy had worked. It also ends with the implication that the government vaccine was a huge success.
The oddest thing about the movie is how it ENDS -- very abrupt, just when you think the third act is about to revv into high gear, everything is resolved, with the Feds looking like heroes.
