Box Office Pete Hammond This is Steven Soderbergh at his best delivering a gripping, chilling and powerful movie experience that will have audiences talking (and freaking out). | 15 | |
ScreenIt T. Durgin The new pandemic thriller Contagion is a tough one to review. The film is kind of its own worst enemy. There is so much potential in front of and behind the camera, that the paying audience member can't help but expect greatness. This is such a BIG story with the potential for so many BIG moments and BIG scenes, that it's rather perplexing that Soderbergh and Co. made it for the people in the audience with the short attention spans. Instead, the whole thing feels maddeningly incomplete. | 9 | |
