Contagion Movie Review
I’ve been looking forward to seeing this film on DVD or pay-per-view and watched it last night. Contagion is another play on the old plague/disaster theme and executes it fairly well.
One Line Synopsis
Gwyneth Paltrow screws around on her husband Matt Damon and dies but not before spreading a new virulent form of flu to her family.
Director
Steven Soderbergh
Standout Actors
Kate Winslet as the tireless, dedicated CDC doctor.
Best Bit Part
Steven Soderbergh (as the voice of Paltrow’s Chicago boyfriend John Neal).
Closing comment
I liked how the movie started on Day 2 with Paltrow looking sickly. Right from the opening shot you know that Day 1 is significant and twisty. This movie’s worth watching.
Grade
B
