Review of Contagion (2011) by Jacob C — 22 Dec 2015

81/100 - Steven Soderbergh's Contagion is quite a thrill ride. Its portrayal of a worldwide near-apocalyptic epidemic is exciting and very sobering, almost making me never want to touch another doorknob again.

This is largely a result of the movie's multiple storylines that intersect in very good places. The large ensemble cast can get a little unwieldy at times, but in general this is a very well-crafted film that provokes thought almost as much as it entertains.
