Contagion 2011

Contagion    An infectious disease threatens humanity, the first victim is a woman returning from a business trip to Hong Kong.  Her son dies the same day but her husband doesn't get sick? The Centers for Disease Control need to identify the type of virus and find a way to combat it quickly, every day that passes more people die.
    The strong cast and plot elevate this movie from just another doomsday calamity.  Since we've already experienced virus spread in real life, this movie could happen.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

106 min, Drama directed by Steven Soderbergh with Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Bryan Cranston, Jennifer Ehle.

Note:  Blockbuster 3 1/2*, imdb 6.9 out of 10, 84% critic 63% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
