OUTBREAK


Is there a movie more fitting now of being revisited. I've always loved outbreak although it's an eco thriller there are so many elements of it that feel like a genre film. In fact it sort of reminds of the blob remake in some ways. Dustin Hoffman (Tootsie), Rene Russo (Thor), Morgan Freeman (Bucket List), Donald Sutherland ( Hunger Games), Cuba Gooding Jr. (Jerry Maguire) and Patrick Dempsey (Scream 3) head a solid cast as a virus breaks in a small town because of a cute little, smuggled monkey. The army doctors and CDC race against time as the town begins to die out as the government has alternate options. The movie us thrilling, edge of your seat popcorn entertainment. It's fun but easily relatable because of the solid performances and intelligent screenplay. Unlike our current state as of now the film offers a positive solution that we are all hoping for.

Budget: $50m
