Flu (15) 122 mins **
Coughs and sneezes do
indeed spread diseases in this amusingly feverish thriller, a Korean attempt to
take back some of those lurgies let loose by Soderbergh’s colder-blooded Contagion. A container full of
immigrants – tsk – unleashes a new mutation of bird flu on one of Seoul’s
ritzier suburbs, occasioning various disaster scenarios pitched around the
level of a Channel Five telemovie: the crisis boils down to whether Hunky
Rescue Worker can help Plucky Single Mum to retrieve her Adorably Cute
Daughter. Frequent spluttering montages provide silly fun, but this sort of
doomsday projection surely ought to be terrifying.
Flu opens in selected cinemas from today
