A deranged war veteran detonates a biological weapon inside a Federal building. Now quarantined and overflowing with ferocious rage-driven zombies, it's up to a small group of uninfected survivors on the top floor to figure a way out of the premises before it's too late.
While director George Mendeluk maintains a brisk pace throughout and stages the action set pieces with a reasonable amount of flair and skill, he crucially fails to generate any much-needed tension and only delivers a slight smidgen of gore. D. Todd Deeken's generic script staunchly adheres to a by-the-numbers hackneyed and predictable plot without adding anything fresh or surprising into the standard mix. Moreover, the acting is decidedly hit or miss: Jason London as the stalwart Cale, Alicia Leigh Willis as the tough Mandy, and Lochlyn Munro as noble firefighter Lohan all do their best with the trite material while C. Thomas Howell as the no-nonsense Chief Grosso, Robert Carradine as the sinister Dr. Wexler, and especially Judd Nelson as ruthless fed Agent Wilson all simply phone it in. Brad Reeb's sharp cinematography and the rattling score by Chris Thomas are both up to par. Passable, but overall pretty blah and unremarkable.

Zombies in a building
An angry veteran sets off a virus in a building and turns the office staff into even angrier zombies. Put quarantine and 28 days later into the blender and the terror experiment is what comes out of the mix. It has a lot of unknowns in the cast along with old reliables like judd nelson and c thomas howell. There is some action but the whole thing can come across as being a little bit funny, silly and slow at times. The zombies are not really zombies and more like infected living people. If ever there was 2 am viewing this is definitely it. Watchable but nothing too taxing.
A very cheesy Sci-Fy channel type movie that had a better cast then usual. I hope they were going for comedy. I say C-
"They'll label me a terrorist but I'm a patriot." After a disgruntled veteran unleashes a virus in an office building in order to expose a government secret things don't go as planned. A group of uninfected survivors try to escape the quarantined building and get to safety before it's too late. I had no idea what to expect from this movie at all. I have been watching almost everything before watching the preview to help me have a clean slate when I start. I saw the cast and thought this may be OK. I wish I would have seen the preview first. I am not sure if they were going for a serious movie or a over-the-top cheesy comedy movie. I hope to God it was the latter because if they tried to make this a serious movie they failed. If they went for a comedy type movie they did a little better but this is a few steps above the Sci-Fy channel movies (because of the cast). I really thought this was going to be a zombie movie but it turned out to be a comedy (?) version of "Quarantine". Overall, not my kind of movie but some people will like it. I give it a C-.
