A film with a fairly current topic regarding the Coronavirus that is constantly in the news these days.

The film looks pleasant and also contains a decent star cast. Dustin Hoffman and Kevin Spacey stand out in a positive way, Donald Sutherland was less appealing to me, although that was probably more due to the script than what he tried to make of it.

Towards the end it gets a bit exaggerated in my opinion and it can no longer be called credible. However, especially the beginning of the film is not only good but also interesting to see how people try to fight such a virus.

Enough.

Outbreak is an American action thriller film directed by German director Wolfgang Petersen. It broke through in the 1980s with classics such as Das Boot and The Never Ending Story. There were several outbreaks of the Ebola virus in Africa in the 1990s, which served as the inspiration for the film Outbreak.

In the first half, Outbreak focuses on the suspense as Dustin Hoffman (in his first real action role) races against time to find a cure for the deadliest virus in American history. . This is where the film is most interesting and it is a pity that in the 2nd half it turns out to be a real action film with several spectacular chases. Unfortunately, this does not help credibility.

Still, Outbreak is an entertaining popcorn movie that never gets boring. Dustin Hoffman plays a nice lead role and gets good counterplay from actors like Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman and Cuba Gooding Jr. However, the show is stolen by Donald Sutherland as the ruthless army general who is constantly trying to save his own skin.

As mentioned, Outbreak doesn't rely on its credibility. In 2020 and 2021, the film was more topical than ever, thanks to the outbreak of the Coronavirus. That outbreak, however, shows once again what sheer nonsense this film was, in which epidemiologists have found a cure for a deadly virus in no time. It didn't happen that fast in reality.
