Review of Outbreak (1995) by Wayne H — 19 Jan 2012
The first half of it is so well made. We actually get to watch a killer virus fly into a ventilation system in a movie theater and travel into the bodies of the patrons. The government obliterates a villiage in Zaire overrun by the virus and a monkey host rings it to the U.
S. The monkey's owner gets sick, then people throughout a small California town start dying and scientists need to contain and stop the virus from, well, breaking out. The set up is great. Then we spend the second half of the movie watching Dustin Hoffman and Cuba Gooding Jr.
chase the monkey around in a helicopter that never seems to run out of gas, unlike the script.
