CARRIERS

Film's about four friends traveling across the country after a virus has wiped out a majority of the population.  They have to constantly be on guard since the virus is extremely contagious.

Along the way, one gets infected which raises horrific questions and consequences.

The film is bare bones.  It's more of a character study.  The problem is, the characters aren't that interesting and they're certainly not up to the task of carrying a plot.  And it's not really much of a plot to carry.  There's not enough going on to warrant a movie.

We don't learn much about the virus.  We don't know the fate of the rest of the nation.  We just stay with these four individuals. If you're going to make this movie, you'd better have four characters that blow us away.  This film drops the ball.
