With more recognizable actors than an entire season of South Park, Contagion’s got one hell of a star-powered fist that’s prepared to punch you in the paranoia nut-sack. Soderbergh prefers to examine the chaos from an observer’s perspective rather than immerse us in any deep emotional investment. This choice may break the interest of some, but this epidemiological exploration into a global freak-out held a rare fascination within me. Some plot threads could’ve used more tying and I was thrown off by the possibility of Demetri Martin saving the world, but nevertheless, Contagion is a fantastic, titanically told fear-inducer. *cough*
