AN OUTBREAK OF A DEADLY VIRUS BEGINS IN CHINA AND QUICKLY SPREADS ACROSS THE GLOBE. THIS MOVIE TELLS THE STORY OF HOW THAT OUTBREAK IS DEALT WITH, FROM THE DOCTORS AT THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL TO THE OFFICIALS FROM THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
AN ALL STAR CAST -- MARION COTILLARD, MATT DAMON, LAURENCE FISHBURNE, JUDE LAW, GWYNETH PALTROW, KATE WINSLET AND MANY OTHERS YOU WILL RECOGNIZE -- MAKE THIS A VERY GOOD THRILLER. COTILLARD, FISHBURNE AND WINSLET PLAY DOCTORS TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO STOP THE VIRUS; DAMON AND PALTROW ARE CITIZENS WHO ARE AFFECTED TRAGICALLY BY THE VIRUS; LAW IS A BLOGGER TRYING TO EXPOSE THE CORRUPTION BEHIND IT ALL. THE FILM MOVES BETWEEN THESE THREE STORY LINES QUITE WELL, KEEPING YOU INTERESTED IN ALL THREE AND WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE. AS FOR THE OUTCOME, YOU PRETTY MUCH KNOW WHAT IT IS BEFORE YOU START, BUT THE INTEREST IS IN HOW THEY GET THERE AND WHAT HAPPENS ALONG THE WAY. I THINK THE MOVIE WAS VERY EFFECTIVE IN SHOWING THAT. REALISTIC THINGS HAPPEN, PEOPLE GET INFECTED WHO YOU MIGHT NOT EXPECT TO AND OTHERS DO THINGS THAT AREN'T EXACTLY LEGAL BUT ARE DONE FOR PERSONAL REASONS. A GOOD INTERESTING THRILLER.
