The Viral Factor - 2012 - 6/10
AKA - Jik Zin // 逆戰

A strain of smallpox has been stolen, then the scientist who stole it is snatched by a business cartel.
Why? Release a new variant globally, then charge ka-zillions for the vaccine.
Wait a minute! What year was this? OK, OK, just a coincidence.
Film swiftly shifts into a high octane button, button, who’s got what?
Thieves, cops, crooked cops, scientists, an off-duty, out of his jurisdiction detective.
Action? Holy moly, Moses, this is wall to wall gunfights, street chases, martial arts.
How many bullets can a body take and keep plugging along? Think more.
Much was shot in Kuala Lumpur, nice change from Hong Kong.
Otherwise, mindless hoopla.
