Contagion

Steven Soderbergh turns the star-studded Hollywood disaster flick on its head.

Adorable WHO epidemiologist: Marion Cotillard.

Adorable WHO epidemiologist: Marion Cotillard.

As prolific a worker as any in contemporary Hollywood, Soderbergh claims to be on the verge of packing in his own career, which gives his movie a pretty interesting subtextual twist: Work, in Contagion, is fraught with mortal peril. The first victims are business travelers, while Damon's stay-at-home dad is turned into one of the film's least ambiguous heroes. If Contagion truly is the first leg of Soderbergh's retirement victory lap, this harrowing film is a potent reminder of what we stand to lose.
