It is a real shame that this film turned out the way it did, as from the outset it had so much potential. A cast of good A-grade actors and a semi-decent screenplay which was wasted by Steven Soderbergh's lack of vision and directing talent.

The film tells the story of a group of people affected by an epidemic spreading across globe, but unlike other better films of this genre (like Outbreak and even The andromeda strain), it teases the viewer just enough to keep them interested yet never quite delivers.

I have to admit I am no fan of Steven Soderbergh's films. I find as a director he lacks the vision to bring to film something special and instead concentrates far far too much on cinematography and how shots look, rather than telling a story in such a way as it becomes compelling.

Honestly I don't think Steven Soderbergh has ever delivered a film which delivers, and yet again here is another.

I wouldn't bother.
