“Burn ‘em all.”

From Breach.

In the year 2242, Earth has become overwhelmed by a plague and too far gone to be saved, so all those that could afford it, bought passage to the safety of New Earth.  Noah (Cody Kearsley) and his pregnant girlfriend, Hayley (Kassandra Clementi), are able to board the Hercules for the final transport from the dying Earth.  Their passage, in part, is made possible because Hayley’s father (Thomas Jane) is the commander of the Hercules.  While Hayley and the majority of the passengers are put into cryo-sleep for the duration of the journey, Noah is assigned to stay awake as part of the janitor crew under the seasoned, alcohol-loving Clay (Bruce Willis), and the two are tasked with keeping the ship clean while the rest of the left-awake crew maintains the ship.  While the Admiral and the passengers are in cryo-sleep, chief security officer Stanley (Timothy V. Murphy) is placed in charge of the crew and ship.  Along with the ship’s doctors, Chambers (Rachel Nichols) and Ortega (Angie Pack), and security officer Teek (Callan Mulvey), Clay spends most of his time turning cleaning supplies into moonshine.  However, when the crew realizes that two crew members have been killed by a mechanic (Johnny Messner), Stanley sends the crew after the mechanic, which results in the mechanic’s death.  While performing the autopsy, Chambers discovers that killer was infected by some body-controlling parasite, then Noah and the entire crew quickly realize that the parasite is hunting them.  As Noah and Clay watch the number of infected crew rise, they struggle to find a way to stop the parasite before it kills everyone on the ship, but with New Earth fast approaching, time is quickly running out.

While this sci-fi space thriller is not completely unique from other films in the genre, it does hit all the required elements and action that fans of the genre will enjoy. Kearsley plays the likable young lead, especially opposite Willis’ tough action-ready attitude.  While unlikely to win any awards, the cool sets, mostly-solid effects, and non-stop action makes Breach a pretty enjoyable movie.
