In the near future COVID-23 infects the world. It is very airborne with a 56% death rate of those that are infected. The city of LA is in lock down and quarantine. People use their smart phone to scan them for the virus which they must do daily. If positive, men in suits come tale you to Q-camps which have a negative reputation.

Nico ( K.J. Apa) is a courier. He is immune to the virus and wears a coveted wrist band. Things escalate as he needs to get out of the city with his girlfriend who he talks to between a door. Nico can carry the virus. He needs the black market run by the rich and evil government officials.

Because of the virus, there were limited characters which they tried to use as drama filler. People don't turn into zombies so the action is light. They could have at least had some silly parkour and swagger music.

Guide: Implied sex scene. Brief butt nudity. No F-words that I recall, but there could have been. Language was slightly coarse.

Supposedly this is the first Hollywood movie made during the 2020 lockdown and the first to have that year's Coronavirus outbreak as its subject matter. Produced by Michael Bay, it sounds interesting on paper but turns out to be an amateur hour effort all round, with various famous faces - Alexandra Daddario, Demi Moore - shoehorned into a pitiful episodic storyline that's so stilted and unbelievable that it feels like a cheap indie. Peter Stormare symbolises a corrupt and oppressive regime, the good guys are involved in a sappy romance, and the whole thing absolutely stinks.

In 2024, the world has been ravaged by COVID-23. Los Angeles is under strict quarantine and the control of the Department of Sanitation. Various people navigate this new world. Nico (K.J. Apa) is immune and a delivery boy working for Lester (Craig Robinson). He loves Sara (Sofia Carson) who is isolated with her grandmother in their apartment. William Griffin (Bradley Whitford) is a corrupt record producer who lives with his wife Piper (Demi Moore) and daughter. May (Alexandra Daddario) is an aspiring singer stranded by the virus. Emmett Harland (Peter Stormare) is a ruthless Sanitation agent.

It's exploitive. It's too soon. It's derivative. It's basically one of those disaster movies with interconnected character stories. It takes too long to start the narrative engine. It's too much in love with showing the disinfecting of stuff and the minutia of this world. Once the action thriller starts, the movie finally gets some kinetic energy. Its Michael Bay production gene finally shows but it's somehow empty and it fizzles out anyways. I am willing to give this a little credit for filming in the middle of the pandemic. It took advantage with filming in the empty streets but on the other hand, it is constricted by social distancing. Year from now, this will be interesting not for its cinematic value but as a time capsule of a specific real world.
