Rating: 6 out of 10, a truly amazing cast which proves there can be too much of a good thing. I was really looking forward to seeing this when I first saw the previews, a Soderberg movie with a powerhouse cast but for some reason missed it. I finally saw it this weekend as a Netflix rental and was severely under-impressed. This movie is just all over the place. I know what he was aiming for but his editor let him down here. Just as the audience is forming attachment to a story line and the characters we’re whisked off to some other part of the story. The story itself doesn’t make a lot of sense as on the one hand it shows society completely breaking down and at the same time continuing to function. I guess the worst part of the movie was the pessimistic tone, believing so little in the human spirit when confronted with such a devastating disease. I know we’d do better. I do know I’m going to wash my hands more after seeing this movie, my wife will be happier about that. I am definitely not adding this to my library.
MVP: Ehle, a very interesting actress, shines in a small part as Dr Ally Hextall, the film’s savior
