This is the second Diagnosis Murder TV movie made after the TV series ended, where Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) and his doctor friends investigate the cause of a deadly virus that has infected a group of Mexican workers.
This is an OK movie that is a tad better than the previous entry (A Town Without Pity). The acting is average and the story-line is somewhat compelling; however, the plot-flow doesn't generate enough steam or excitement to make this an attention-grabbing movie. The lack of action or pulsating suspense made this just another mediocre or average mystery - just a bunch of sleuths running around looking for clues, minus the thrills and twists & turns. I would have liked to see a movie made that closes out the Diagnosis Murder series, as the TV show was not given a proper series finale.
Again, there are better murder mystery movies out there. See this only if you have absolutely nothing else to watch on TV.
Grade C-
