DON'T TOUCH ME.......2004-01-30

CONTAMINATED MAN is one of those unknown films that is much better than you might imagine. A security guard terminated from his position after 22 years (Peter Weller in one of his best roles) accidentally causes a disruption in a chemical laboratory, becoming infected with an extremely contagious and deadly virus. William Hurt appears as a man who fifteen years before had caused the death of his wife and child by exposing them to the same virus in which he had been working on. Enter Nastascha McElhone as an anti-terrorist agent, shadowed by a despicable NSA agent (Michael Brandon in a deliciously vile performance), and you have the ingredients for a chase movie. Weller's touch kills almost instantly, but a serum devised by Hurt can save him. The NSA thinks he's an anti-terrorist, although we know there's more to that than meets the eye; Weller just wants to see his estranged wife and son once before he dies.
What happens in the climax is both saddening and disturbing. The ending, however, is beautifully done and vengeance is ours.
A tight, intriguing thriller.

A movie to forget...quickly........2002-12-01

I have never seen a movie as dull as this. The plot, characters and screenplay are absurd; not because of the concept that in its self could have been good...but because of the sheer stupidity and lack of conciseness and strength used in building these. Dont waste a minute of your precious exsistence on this absurdly bad movie, though in the end, as all extremely stupid movies, it is rather comical to watch. Finally, why be competent in making a movie when it is so easy to be incompetent. Just forget this obnoxious concoction...it is a contamination to your intelligence. - N

Very Good!.......2001-10-10

I'm from the United Kingdom, and the title here for this movie is Contagion. I was attracted to this movie as it stars two of my fave actors, William Hurt and Peter Weller. The story is about a man-made virus which has been grown in a lab in Europe. An employee accidently contracts the virus, and unknowingly kills everyone he comes in contact with. The plot and momentum of this movie reminds me of the classic Andromeda Strain; but they are different in their own way.

This was released in the UK direct to video (no idea how it was released in the states) but I gave it a go, and it's actually very entertaining. The acting is good and so is the script. If the makers of this movie had invested more $$$ into it, they would have had a blockbuster thriller. This movie is a little gem, and as we're approaching Christmas, this would be an ideal gift for anyone who likes these conspiracy/thriller movies.
