Virus

DIRECTED BY: John Bruno

REVIEWED: 01-25-99

If you count a couple of TV movies, Virus is Donald Sutherland's 99th film. Sutherland is renowned for making quick cash by appearing in awful films that, in the old days, wound up on the unreleased shelves of the studio's cold storage facility. Nowadays they'd go straight to video. If you read a list of all his movies, you'd probably only recognize the titles of 10 percent of them. Nonetheless, he's managed to show up in such acclaimed and important films as M.A.S.H., Johnny Got His Gun, Little Murders and Klute. What's up with that? In Virus, he plays an evil ship's captain who can't decide whether or not he has an Irish accent, so he teams up with a robot monster from outer space to put the kibosh on Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin, and four other people of varying degrees of stardom. Reasonably entertaining, but the comic book was better.
