#8 Contagion (2011)

Directed by: Steven Soderbergh
Starring: Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet

An A-list cast assemble for Steven Soderbergh's thriller about a deadly virus taking over the world. It's gripping, thought provoking stuff and we get some great performances. With so many story lines, the film is slightly let down by a lack of character development. I can, however, forgive that as it's superbly paced and a unique take on the genre. Recommended.
