Contagion

Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Laurence Fishburne, and Marion Cottilard, form the exceptional cast that lead this realistic portrayal of director Steven Soderbergh's blockbuster drama about a rapidly spreading lethal virus.

In a race against time, the international medical and scientific community attempt to halt the pandemic and avert the mass hysteria that is diffusing even faster than the virus itself.

Without resorting to sensationalism or heroism, the feature brings forth the tense atmosphere, while exalting interpersonal dynamics and inevitable chain reactions.

The use of technically skilled montage and cinematography, along with Scott Burns' screenplay and Cliff Martinez' emotionally pulsating original soundtrack, create a solid, well assembled, and thought provoking feature.
