Q: How many clichés can you cram into a movie? A: The sky's the limit!
21 November 2007
Warning: Spoilers
First of all, I'm not sure if I remember all of the clichés, so please feel free to add to the list.

Before I start listing, let me say that this is one of the worst movies I have seen in quite a while - and I do watch a lot of movies. If the whole idea behind this movie was to just cliché to cliché to cliché until eternity - they certainly made the best movie ever! But, let's just get on with it and do the list (in no particular order): 1. The dips**t gun nut white supremacist who has watched too many Rambo movies.

2. The Australian who cares about nothing else than surfing.

3. The rogue law enforcement officer (in this case FBI) who breaks the law in order to uphold the law.

4. The national guard being completely out of their depth.

5. The law enforcement officer (same as #3) who's estranged from his wife and doesn't have enough time for his son.

6. The (almost Die Hard type) villain who f**ks everything up and in the end gets caught by the guy from #3,5.

7. The relative of one of the people in charge (in this case the niece of one of the CDC heads) who gets infected, but is saved in the end.

8. The political quarries between the big boss and the little big boss (i.e. governor and mayor).

9. The opportunist who just wants to make a fortune, no matter what.

K, that's all I can remember right now, but that's probably due to the fact, that I subconsciously tried to erase this 'thing' (I just can't bring myself to call this a movie) from my memory, even while I was still watching it! Oh, there's one more person who really ticked me off - the obsessive compulsive photographer, who just made me wanting to take the camera off her and use it to beat her into a bloody pulp with it!!! Sorry, I'm not a violent person, but AARRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!
