Well Made Film
Outbreak (1995, Dir. Wolfgang Peterson)

It’s 1967 and there’s a deadly outbreak of 100% mortality rate virus in Motaba River Valley, Zaire. The Valley is destroyed to prevent the virus from spreading, but 27 years later, the virus finds its way over to the USA aboard a monkey. This time though, the virus has evolved and is now airborne, as Col. Sam Daniels (Hoffman) races to not only prevent a virus epidemic but to prevent the destruction of Cedar Creek by the corrupt Maj. Gen. Donald McClintock (Sutherland).

Great acting from its talented cast and superb storytelling make a well made film which hooks you into waiting for the final outcome. Story doesn’t focus on the effects of the virus, but rather the hunt for the cure, which makes a far better film.

You want a hotshot scope-jockey, fine, but, frankly, I’m hurt. – Maj. Casey Schuler (Kevin Spacey)

Whoever Decided To Turn This Into An Action Thriller Made The Wrong Choice
I chose to rent this on the basis of its very strong cast. Headed by Dustin Hoffman and Morgan Freeman (who also do well) the movie also included names like Rene Russo, Kevin Spacey, Cuba Gooding, Jr., and Donald Sutherland. With names like that I had to assume at the very least that the performances would be strong. For the most part they were, although Sutherland came off as a little bit flat in the role of General McClintock – which I think had less to do with Sutherland and was more the result of his character being too one dimensional. Otherwise the cast was fine.

The story revolved a virus that originated in Africa in the 1960’s and was finally spread to the US by an imported monkey released into the forests of California. The disease spreads as far as Boston, but is more or less contained in the small town of Cedar Creek, California. The disease is obviously a threat, and there’s a race going on to find a cure for it before it spreads throughout America and maybe the world. Hoffman played Col. Daniels – an Army doctor trying to figure this out; Freeman was his friend and superior Gen. Ford.

When the focus of the movie was on the fight against the disease, this was pretty good. I might compare it a little bit to the more recently released “Contagion.” The disease in that movie seemed far more threatening, but that movie got bogged down in medical jargon and turned into a lacklustre medical mystery. “Outbreak” avoided being lacklustre and didn’t seem to be trying to impress anyone by using big medical terms. I found the fight against this disease more gripping than the battle in “Contagion.” The two movies also share a similar plot point about the motives of the government.

Where “Outbreak” fails is at the point that it chooses to become little more than an action thriller (basically the last 30-40 minutes) which eventually gets reduced to little more than an extended helicopter chase. That was well done, but it went on far too long and after a while I just wanted to get on with the story.

It’s a big problem when you find the last half hour of a movie to be rather dull. And yet, up to that point it was doing a pretty good job with its basic story, and, frankly, I enjoyed watching this more than I enjoyed watching “Contagion.” (6/10)
