Contagion was surprisingly tense and riveting for a broad film covering a lengthy pandemic that devastates the world.
Overall, the acting was very strong, and the characters were interesting and integral parts of the story. Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, and Laurence Fishburne all did an excellent job with the standard tear-jerking life and loss moments.
Of all the characters, Jude Law stood out playing an eccentric, conspiracy-theory reporter that provided some great moments and comic relief for the film.
Contagion was face-paced and well-directed providing great insights into viral contagions, how they spread, and how they are stopped.
But, if you fear germs, or fear that you may fear germs, this movie is not for you.
