The fundamental problem is that it lacks a core focus. Is it to track down the epidemic or catch the criminals? Obviously the film tends to the former, but does not give up the latter's statement line. In this way, the suspense that was originally aroused at the beginning was disturbed by the rushing of the impatient health officials. Therefore, the suspense of setting up the opening seems unnecessary.
In fact, this is because the health officer is placed in the main aspect, which leads to the origin of the problem. The film should be positioned on crime -- or a specific crime theme, not an epidemic -- and only by putting the sheriff first, will the film not become a so-called "public health emergency" issue film. No, its purpose and desired outcome is to catch criminals, not to talk about public health safety -- that's the realm of disaster movies. For example, a series of disaster films such as the Cassandra Bridge are able to talk about the contradictions between public health and society very well and heartily.
As for it, it seems to have everything, but in fact everything is superficial.
