When terrorists contaminate the Los Angeles water supply with a deadly poison, daily certainties soon crumble into chaos, and survival is all that matters. Interlacing a trio of plotlines, first-time director Ben Rekhi follows a National Guardsman (Jon Gries) torn between duty and family; a clan of Sikh-Americans caught in the midst of escalating racial tensions; and two college students seeking sanctuary in the mountains.

This was - for once - a great, realistic "doomsday" flick. If you are looking for gore, transition to vampire/werewolve, going blind with many mutilations to follow, or being stricken and waking up to creamy yellow eyes ready to kill your mother, this is NOT for you.
It addresses biological poisoning and how we quickly become ferral without water. Water becomes to these modern day humans as salt was to the ancient Egyptians. A commodoty. I'll bet when you watch this, or have already watched it, during the scene where the gunned creep drinks water from a gallon jug, you cried "Don't Waste IT!!!!
But he does. Jon Gries is a chameleon in his diversification (Napolian Dynamite, Twin Falls Idaho, Get Shorty) and he doesn't fail in this movie to pick up and become the part. The only role I found unrealistic was the blonde blue eyed Jewish chick. Her voice and demeanor were irritating. And why say she is jewish by inference and not have the Sihk guy's family , or anyone else for that matter make issue, it was an unnessary relation. All in all, great film
