Petersen pulls off the thrills at a stomach lurching pace, and with its requisite Hollywood ham...
March 16, 2020 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… -
Petersen's vigilant, enlivening direction never allows the story's death-of-mankind topic to undermine its personal powers, deftly mixing in humor, as well as other tonal lighteners, to nurture it.

Outbreak will keep you on the edge of your scat, and every time someone sneezes or coughs in the audience, you'll pay attention.

The irony is that Outbreak, for all its lurid finesse, ends up leaving us more dazed than terrified.
September 7, 2011 | Rating: B- | Full Review… -
While the first one is considerably more frightening and plausible than the second, the entire film has been put together with such skill and attention to viewer excitement that audiences will readily swallow the whole enchilada without a burp.

Entertaining, but not fatally attractive.

Oct 20, 2015The film is at it's best when it concentrates on the interplay between Hoffman, Russo and Spacey. Other sections have dated badly, with some unintentionally funny parts, some woeful extras acting, and a final 20 minutes involving boring helicopter chases.Daniel P Super Reviewer

Dec 08, 2011Sam Daniels: If one of them have it then ten of them will have it and if one of them leave Cedar Creek then we're in deep fucking shit... we're already in deep fucking shit! "Try to remain calm." In Outbreak, a phenomenal cast brings to life a horrific situation. There is a airborne virus that has made its way into the United States. As of now, it remains in one city, but if anybody who has it gets out, the whole country could be at jeopardy. Now it is the job of agencies, doctors and the military to keep it all under control at any cost. Like a lot of these movies, there's a bad guy that is on America's side. So now everyone who has to fight off the disease, also has to stop him from carrying out his plan. This gives the movie some extra intrigue, but also some really predictable situations. As suspenseful as the movie is, it could have been much more. Good thing the situation is actually realistic and highly terrifying, so no matter what there is always going to be a sense of suspense. There are a lot of these types of movies out there. Just this year Black Death and Contagion were released. This is one of the more entertaining ones I have seen and it is actually quite well done. Sure it has its problems; predictability being number 1, but it ridiculously entertaining. A lot of the entertainment comes from a huge and big names cast. The cast features Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Cuba Gooding Jr., Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey and Donald Sutherland. Yeah, that's pretty damn good. It isn't as awesome is it could have been. It could have been scarier and it could have been much better. But for its genre, it is a definite standout. Now I need to see Contagion.Melvin W Super Reviewer

Dec 07, 2011With the cast involved I suppose I was looking for more, the script however, made the movie hit several sour notes for me. The dialogue and various sequences are poorly done and it takes you out of the movie a bit. The bland and sterile style of the movie hinders the decent premise (but by no means original) and makes it average overall. Okay for a rental or a lazy day watch but don't set your sights too high.Chris B Super Reviewer

Nov 19, 2011Outbreak was an chilling epidemic film. Not only is there a terrific cast, but director Wolfgang Peterson shapes Outbreak into something great - and you know that's true because you fear leaving home after watching this movie!Sam E Super Reviewer
