So last night with the boy I watched the epidemic thriller du jour: CONTAGION. With a stellar cast it drew me in and infected me…………with boredom.
The movie starts out by Gwyenth Paltrow in Hong Kong on a business trip becomes infected and travels home to infect everyone else. Her husband played by the extremely affable Matt Damon struggles to find out why his wife became infected and soon after dies. I must admit when her character died I mentally did a “happy dance” in my head.
This film lack any twists or suspense really, after ten minutes it was like every other epidemic movie. As my son would say “It lacked the ability to make me care for any of the characters.” Nuff said.
