One night, a woman steps into a casino in Hong Kong to have a drink and play some games. The next day she flies home to her family, unexpectedly has a seizure and died. What happened? That is what her husband and the rest of the world are asking as this unknown virus multiplies in "Contagion". This frighteningly real film continues in this fashion as more and more people die from this infection, which places the world in a state of panic. There are some aspects of this movie that well done, and it is quite gripping but the many characters are not as deep as they should be. There were only a small few characters that I actually cared about. For instance, I would have been fine with the writers completely removing Jude Law's character from the script. I found him uninteresting annoying. This movie is not great but it accomplishes what its set out to do: showing the affects of a deadly virus that creates a disaster, while scaring the audience a bit.
