Flu (2013)

Director:  Sung-su Kim

Screenplay:  Young-jong Lee, Sung-soo Kim (from a story by Jae-ho Jung)

Starring:  Jang Hyuk, Soo Ae, Min-ah Park, Hae-Jin Yoo and Ma Dong-seok.

Tagline:  Death goes viral.

The Overview:  Beware of Spoilers…

When a fatal airborne virus runs rampant in a suburb of Seoul, a cure must be found before the government resorts to the ultimate solution to end the outbreak.  With the clock ticking, a female doctor working on the cure has a personal reason to find it — her daughter is infected.

Ma Dong-seok from Train to Busan fame shows up as a bad guy!

Flu takes time to set everything up, but once the virus begins to spread unrestrained, the stakes are raised.  The internment disposal area is mind-blowing.  Min-ah Park is an excellent little actress.  Although Flu was released in 2013, the subject has never been more relevant.  Flu rates 3 of 5 stars.
