Welcome to Bob's Movie Reviews for Drama Movies, your online source for information on everything imaginative.

Outbreak

A village in Africa is suffering the effects of some sort of quick acting and deadly virus.  The U.S. military is called in to handle the situation but it is too late.  Meanwhile unbeknownst to anyone a monkey carrying the virus has been smuggled into the U.S.A. and now a small town is infected and the numbers could sky rocket.  Colonel Sam Daniels of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases and his ex-wife who is with the Centre for Disease Control rush to stop its deadly spread.  There is more than meets the eye to the situation however and the virus may not be the only thing to pose an extreme risk to the people of the small town.  Conspiracy and happenstance have collided in the worst possible way and now it is up to the two of them to stop the terrible death knell.

Outbreak is a wide sweeping drama about what would happen if a terribly virulent and effective virus were to grip a small corner of the U.S. nation and threaten the entire country.  The directing on the film is fine with good straightforward scenes that are not distracting to the audience.  The acting is fairly good with a decent script.  The musical score picks up and carries the emotional impact of the tension, and the humanity of the "good guys" and their plight.  The locations and sets all look good without being flashy but are pretty typical and don't stand out on their own.  The pace was a little slow in places and the plot maybe just a tad too apparent and lacking any real mystery.  Still the film was pretty good for the type of story it presented and it didn't require too many brain cells to get into it and follow along.
