4 stars out of 5 -- "This is Steven Soderbergh at his best delivering a gripping, chilling and powerful movie experience that will have audiences talking (and freaking out)."
Los Angeles Times - 09/06/2011
"As with TRAFFIC, the director expertly choreographs an impressive cast that includes major players....A film that makes the spread of a global pandemic seem more than plausible..."
Chicago Sun-Times - 09/07/2011
3 stars out of 4 -- "[A] realistic, unsensational film about a global epidemic....Soderbergh is skillful at telling the story through the lives of several key characters and the casual interactions of many others."
