With… More A biological act of terror has been unleashed upon Los Angeles, and as the denizens of the West Coast metropolis are bombarded with news stories documenting the contamination of the city's water supply, turmoil grips the panic-stricken streets in director Ben Rekhi's dark speculative drama. With resources quickly shrinking and the stress of the terrified population reaching a breaking point, the face of humanity turns foul as civility takes a back seat to survival instinct and the only thing that counts is getting out alive. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
This is definitely a film where style triumphs over substance.
MaryAnn Johanson, Flick Filosopher
[S]mart, nicely acted, and it looks great, far sharper and more stylish than its reported $1 million budget would lead you to believe it could be...
Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com
Even without terrorists, it seems, we may be our own worst enemies. Waterborne makes that point with a compelling, highly watchable story.
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, TheMovieChicks.com
The action is kept up-close and personal, focusing on individuals instead of mass hysteria. This sense of immediacy brings the audience closer to the story.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
It's like a realistically creepy episode of The Twilight Zone as written by a particularly colorful sociologist.
