It is the story of a psychologist in Washington, DC, Carol Pinel, who is fighting a deadly quest to find the secret of a deadly epidemic. This woman reveals the origin of a pandemic spreading across the city, but she also discovers that her son may be the only person who can stop it.
Opting for car chases instead of the thought-provoking ideas of its predecessors, the film looks like the work of, if not pod people, folks who gave up any kind of passion for the material long before the cameras started to roll.

There are some nice shocks to be had, but not enough to stop viewers from falling asleep, which is ironic considering that staying awake is an essential plot point for Kidman's character.
The latest and lamest version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers might have been an accidental camp classic if its politics weren't so abhorrent and the movie didn't try to hide its ineptitude behind a veil of pomposity.
