The opening as it read in 2010

Deadly Outbreak (released in certain markets as Deadly Takeover ) is an action movie released by US-Israeli company Nu Image in 1996, and directed by former stuntman Rick Avery . It is set in Israel and follows the formula set by Die Hard rather closely. Additionally, the last act of the film also borrows heavily from the U.S. blockbuster, Speed , released just two years earlier.1 Dutton Hatfield, played by Jeff Speakman , is working for the American embassy. He finds himself inside a biochemical weapon laboratory when terrorists headed by Colonel Baron (played by TimeCop villain Ron Silver ) take over the place. Baron is looking for a sample of a deadly virus that is being developed inside the facility. The movie, although a bit formulaic and not especially rich with martial arts for a Speakman vehicle, is considered by many to be the actor's best film. The action scenes are numerous and span a variety of styles, direction is competent and photography is especially good for a movie geared towards the home video market.2
