Let this serve as a warning, if you are married and you cheat with someone whilst away on business, not only will you break your partners heart, you will most likely cause the deaths of millions of innocent people. Though, they probably deserve it, they (meaning the people of America) cannot manage eight days without looting, robbing and generally being awful (though this film takes place in other countries, only the Americans become assholes right off the bat). What’s great about Contagion is that about forty percent of the film is close up shots of people touching things, I have seen porn with less random touching, and every time someone touches something you just know “they gonna die!”. If the contagion had been a zombie virus, this would have been far less original, but much better.
