Goofs:

Plot holes: Linda Christian claims that the virus causes hemorrhaging from the eyes, nose and other soft tissues and projectile vomiting. There's no projectile vomiting or hemorrhaging when the submarine crew is exposed. They just keel over and die without any of the many symptoms described.

Quotes:

Nadia: You lied to get me into bed.

"SOUNDS LIKE A BAD ACTION MOVIE"

Well the quote belongs to none other than Dolph Lundgren. And this is an understatement.

Dolph Lundgren stars as a naval officer who must keep a deadly virus out of terrorists hands.

I thought I was following Agent Red well until I saw "Dolph Lundgren" steal an aircraft which is footage from the startlingly routine Storm Catcher. This scene is more stylish and overall better than anything else in the film plus the guy is 5'11 Dolph is 6'5! This is incompetent filmmaking at it's worst. Avoid this like the plauge because once exposed you cannot survive.

1/2* (Out of four)
