As a thriller that threatens a quick and gruesome demise behind every expended breath, Contagion does a workmanlike job.September 30, 2011
If you're looking for some kind of poetry-some exalted dramatic arc that lifts this narrative out of the ordinary-you won't find it here. Contagion is...gripping from start to finish.September 09, 2011
Along with the stars, Contagion has plenty of scares, though in contrast to Matt Damon and Kate Winslet, they're things you encounter every day.June 30, 2013
This high-stakes drama is infected with too many characters and a silly subplot.July 15, 2016
Paltrow's bits are among the films creepiest, since, award-winning actress that she is, she's horrifyingly convincing in the throes of advanced symptoms, as well as looking extremely dead.October 18, 2011
Adopting a clean, chronological and punchy approach, Soderbergh holds a steady eye on panic and chaos. It's a disaster movie with a brain and conscience.September 13, 2011
The presence of movie stars helps: their authority is part of what keeps us fascinated by the gruesome fable, juicing it a bit, so that we can actually enjoy it.October 07, 2015
What it is, is a hypochondria-inducing thriller that will likely have you keep off the handrails as you exit the theater, head straight to the nearest Duane Reade and stockpile bulk-size surgical masks, latex gloves and hand sanitizer.January 09, 2013
"As slick and polished as this "real" version of "28 Days Later" is, it's an utterly heartless affair."September 10, 2011
Contagion is the best movie made to date about an epidemic/pandemic.June 22, 2013
This is a movie that will pound your pulse without having a pulse itself. It's quite proud of it.September 11, 2011
Contagion is compelling.
