Well, as I sat down to watch the 1988 movie "The Carrier" here in 2021, it was actually my first time to watch it. In fact, it was the first time I even heard about the movie. So I had no idea what to expect from writer and director Nathan J. White's movie.
As the story went, well then it was a mildly entertaining movie. I mean, it wasn't particularly thrilling, nor were there any grand ups and downs along the way as the story trotted on. It felt very monotonous, and there wasn't really much of any deeper underlying layers to the story. As such, it just felt a bit too shallow. Sure, the movie was watchable, but it was hardly an impressive movie.
The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie it is, the age of the movie and the boundaries set by the limitations of the script and storyline. I weren't familiar with anyone on the cast list as seen in "The Carrier".
Sure, there were some aspects to the storyline that was better than others. I liked the fact how the story shows the way some people turn utterly selfish and act irrationally during a time of crisis; much as is seen in these times of Covid-19 actually.
However, for entertainment purposes then "The Carrier" was a less than mediocre movie. I managed to sit through it, but I wasn't particularly entertained, much less enjoying the storyline. My rating of the 1988 movie from writer and director Nathan J. White lands on a four out of ten stars.
