Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: When Warner Brothers was unable to secure the rights to Richard Preston's terrifying non-fiction book The Hot Zone (purchased by a rival studio), they took the basic idea of a fatal virus on the loose in the US, added Dustin Hoffman and director Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot) and produced an unusual thriller--a surprise hit--called Outbreak. The other picture, slated to star Robert Redford and Jodie Foster, fell through. The premise of Outbreak, which owes something to Elia Kazan's 1950 plague-scare movie, Panic in the Streets, is as terrifying as it is timely. As developers slash their way deeper into the previously unexplored tropical rainforests, they are exposed to radically new forms of life, including diseases, that in these days of commonplace international travel could turn into deadly epidemics almost before we know it. Hoffman's character and his estranged wife (Rene Russo) are disease experts called in to identify the unknown killer, which was carried into the country by an illegally smuggled monkey. The best sequence shows the disease spreading--through recycled air on a passenger jet or a sneeze in a crowded cinema. The final chase is pretty conventional but the cast is terrific, including Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland, Cuba Gooding Jr., J.T. Walsh and Zakes Mokae. --Jim Emerson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Never trust the militaryWhen I first saw this movie, I didn't know what to expect. I was very happy that I saw this but it had a lot of thematic and freaky elements. Dustin Hoffman and everybody else in the cast is really good and their performances were cool. A bunch of big named stars in this made this disease movie work. It showed how good the army would do if they had a disease that had an outbreak and it shows what risks they would take. Overall the whole movie is really cool. The acting was great and the direction is good, too. Rating:  - One of my favourite films of all time?!Im not going to analyse the entire film and spoil the storyline becos i believe the storyline is so strong and captivating it makes the movie great!!dustin hoffman and rene russo make an unusual but utterly perfect couple. The film has enuf romance to keep us girls hopeful and enuf action to keep the boys happy with some good humour thrown in for good measure. Buy this movie, u wont be disappointed. Rating: - A Brilliant ThrillerI went to see Outbreak at the cinema on the day of it's release and I was thoroughly impressed from start to finish, coincidentally I saw the trailer to it the day before watching another film at the cinema and me and my friend both agreed that we had to see this film. I liked all the main actors in it and I also enjoy the films of Wolfgang Petersen, the director and also James Newton Howard's score was brilliant and although he's scored bigger films like The Fugitive and King Kong among others this is still one of my personal top choices. If I had to pick one actor as the best in this then I would have to say that my choice would be Donald Sutherland for not only is he a brilliant actor but he also makes an excellent villain in films.

In 1989, a secret U.S. Army SWAT team was called in after an Ebola outbreak among monkeys in a Reston, VA lab; a mere ten miles from Washington, D.C. They eventually determined that this particular strain wasn't contagious for humans - others, however, are; capable of producing a 90% mortality rate within a matter of days. The incident produced Richard Preston's bestselling book "The Hot Zone," on which this movie is loosely based (another project involving Robert Redford and Jodie Foster eventually folded). Like the Reston Ebola strain, the (fictitious) Motaba virus at the center of Wolfgang Petersen's "Outbreak" is brought to the U.S. by an infected monkey, caught near ... Read More: Rating: - A must-see, frighteningly real medical/military thrillerOutbreak is one of the best, most absorbing, most impressive films I've seen in a long, long time. It is based on a threat more frightening than nuclear war, stars the best actors and actresses Hollywood has to offer, features tons of heart-pumping, exhilarating action, and falls squarely in the category of "blew me away." Man, that Dustin Hoffman can act; I don't believe I've ever fully appreciated the man's acting skills before. Then you have Morgan Freeman, for my money the best actor working today; I'm used to Freeman being squarely on the side of good vs. evil, and I wanted to slap him many times as I was watching this film, but the man does incredible work. Donald Sutherland plays his rather inhuman role perfectly, Rene Russo lights up ... Read More: |
