Soderbergh crafts frightening vision in 'Contagion'

'Contagion', a sharp thriller from Steven Soderbergh ('Ocean's 11', 'The Informant'), is like an adaptation of a Michael Crichton novel that never was.

The movie quickly sets up its pawns in order to engage you in a game of pandemic chess, where the terror comes from science and the humanity comes from your own empathy.
