Outbreak

You know this fib by now: Dustin Hoffman and Rene Russo are medical researchers, sent to save a town septic with a virus brought in from an African monkey. Donald Sutherland is the bad guy: he wants to use the virus as a weapon system. Morgan Freeman mediates, and Wolfgang Petersen directs.


The painfully obvious plotline makes this an too long aesculapian thriller with no beatify. All that�s left is some spewed-out medical footing, a sappy love story, and a few meg bucks worth of military surplus jeeps and tanks. Luckily, Dustin and Co. are able-bodied to put this stuff to fair good work, with strong performances by Hoffman and Russo saving the day, and the eerie feeling that all this military goofiness is just a bit as well real.


There isn�t much else to say about Outbreak. I precisely don�t eff where else you john see Dustin Hoffman chase after a scalawag.
