'Contagion'

"Contagion" is a new sci-fi thriller focused on the threat posed by a very infectious and deadly disease.  As the disease grows, the worldwide medical industry races to find a cure before panic sets in, driving humanity to its edge. 

The trailer makes this movie seem action and suspense driven, but this is not the case.  "Contagion" is suspenseful, but it is not because of intense action sequences; it comes from an emotion-filled script and a well-written soundtrack to match.  Because this film is so dialogue driven, it does get slow at times, but the overall story and the suspense make up for this.

 Overall, I would give this movie seven and a half wash-your-stinking-hands out of ten.
