CONTAGION

CONTAGION...Released September 2011. Sometimes a well made film can be boring. Contagion can be placed in this category. The poster reads "nothing spreads like fear". I kept thinking of this moniker while waiting for something exciting to happen on the screen. As the contagion spreads across the world and the death toll reaches 1 million, then 5 million, then 15 million the screenplay is void of major panic. It was as if the film wanted to take a "cool, calm, collected" approach to mass death. Ultimately, there was no "fear" in the screenplay.

Jamie says "6".

Thanks, I thought this looked interesting, but just as I thought, probably not even worth watching on DVD when it gets released next week probably. Savings to wallet is always appreciated. Saving time to watch something else...priceless.
