What it is, is a hypochondria-inducing thriller that will likely have you keep off the handrails as you exit the theater, head straight to the nearest Duane Reade and stockpile bulk-size surgical masks, latex gloves and hand sanitizer.

This high-stakes drama is infected with too many characters and a silly subplot.

Contagion is the best movie made to date about an epidemic/pandemic.

"As slick and polished as this "real" version of "28 Days Later" is, it's an utterly heartless affair."

Paltrow's bits are among the films creepiest, since, award-winning actress that she is, she's horrifyingly convincing in the throes of advanced symptoms, as well as looking extremely dead.

This is a movie that will pound your pulse without having a pulse itself. It's quite proud of it.

If you're looking for some kind of poetry-some exalted dramatic arc that lifts this narrative out of the ordinary-you won't find it here. Contagion is...gripping from start to finish.

As a thriller that threatens a quick and gruesome demise behind every expended breath, Contagion does a workmanlike job.

Along with the stars, Contagion has plenty of scares, though in contrast to Matt Damon and Kate Winslet, they're things you encounter every day.

The presence of movie stars helps: their authority is part of what keeps us fascinated by the gruesome fable, juicing it a bit, so that we can actually enjoy it.

Adopting a clean, chronological and punchy approach, Soderbergh holds a steady eye on panic and chaos. It's a disaster movie with a brain and conscience.

Contagion is compelling.
