Holy hell, one of those most taut thrillers I've ever seen.

Holy hell, one of those most taut thrillers I've ever seen. What did /tv/ think of this?

Also, have you read anything about plagues and outbreaks? How long until the next one endangers our species?

Not soon enough, really.

Great movie. Walked in blind & was blown away by it.
If you want to read a book discussing infectious diseases like said move, you should check Spillover.

Very good. Soderbergh's an excellent director, really excels at genre pictures.

Thanks for the recommendation. I also recommend The Coming Plague

Okay bad choice of word on my part. I just thought it was quite grim how she was ill (but fine) in one scene then it cuts to her being put in a body bag.
>>
>>63266737
I saw it on TV one night, and I was surprised. I expected a boring Hollywood action-thriller based on the trailers, but got a good movie instead.

Bergh has been very hit and miss, he's had some fucking fantastic films, but a few seriously bad films like that one with Matt Damon. That was goddamn awful.

I hated this film when I saw it, though I recently rewatched it and thought it was fantastic. I liked Side Effects too
>>
>describing thrillers as "taut"
Stop doing this
>>
>>63266737

The filterization made the entire film look like ass.

>these scenes will be blue!
>these scenes will be yellow!

Shame that a film with otherwise decent storytelling and performances succumbed to the cancer killing cinema.
>>
>>63267517
More taut than your mother's pussy, good sir.
>>
>>63267552
which scenes were yellow, I didn't notice them

I noticed when I saw Traffic, that one was obvious.
>>
True story: I went to italy in 2012 and this was the only movie I had on my phone for some reason. Watch it like 20 times. Good movie, love Fishburne and Jude Law's character. Matt Damon actually acting well. Kate Winslet looking bored as fuck in her performance, but I think that was her character.

Jude Law was a crook and thief, I don't think he had a political agenda.

Jude Law's character ruined it.

Yeah I get that there are internet tinfoil junkies who would fuck up the situation like that but I don't actually need to see them distracting from what could've been a tighter story.

I would've rather they kept it more procedural. I didn't need a minor villain to remind me how shitty and opportunistic some people can be.

I see your point, but thought it added an interesting and realistic sideplot. Cautionary tale for those easily lured by the Jenny McCarthy's of the world.

It would be better just to show anti-vac types getting killed off early.

I don't need to see them callously watching their friends die or getting bailed out of jail just to send the point home that PEOPLE ARE SHIT.

Also lol at Paltrow's character revealed to be an adultress.

>judging a strong independent woman merely expressing her sexuality

I bet you wish husbands still owned their wives, don't you?
>>
why does it have such low audience/imdb ratings?
>>
>>63268790
I'm not sure, I was surprised by how much better it was than the ratings let on.

Perhaps due to Marion Cotillard's storyline and how it ends, and perhaps also Jude Law's.
>>
I liked it a ton.
>>63268790
The ending. It just...ends. Which is what would happen with an epidemic, but people probably wanted to see a months worth of reactionary news stories.

One reviewer, can't remember who, said the movie felt like an after-the-fact dramatization of something that really happened. I agree. Brutal, true feeling, loved it.

I saw this movie by chance while reading The Plague by Camus. Never actually finished the book cuz I got bored by the last quarter but there were a ton of interesting points of comparison between the ttw, and it made me appreciate the bluntness of the film even more.

It's also probably the movie I've spoiled the plotlines of the most in stream chats, which is weird.
