Perfect Sense 2011


Perfect Sense (2011)     Susan is an expert in epidemics, she sees a patient who has lost the ability to smell anything after he had an unexpected crying jag.  The man is in isolation and he has gotten over the crying jag but still cannot smell, plus he's not very happy after being held for about 11 hours.  Susan and her colleagues begin to research this condition and they discover that other people across the world are having are having the same symptoms.  Smell is just the beginning of whatever is affecting the people, next comes taste.  Something must be done to stop this before more senses are lost but there aren't any clues?
     There is more missing from this movie than senses, it just does not draw you in to the problem, I don't know if it's the plot or the characters.  Everything seems superficial like it's covered in plastic wrap to keep it fresh but it also keeps out the audience too.  3* (This movie is OK)

92 min, Drama directed by David Mackenzie with Eva Green, Ewan McGregor, Connie Nielsen, Ewen Bremner, Stephen Dillane, Denis Lawson, Lauren Tempany, Caroline Paterson, Richard Mack.

Note:  Blockbuster 2 1/2*, imdb 7.0 out of 10, 52% critic 60% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
