First thing I'll say is the film has a fine cast - Dustin Hoffman, Donald Sutherland, Kevin Spacey, and Morgan Freeman are all superb - along with the others. The film is a virus outbreak from a monkey that causes the some of the military personal to search quickly for a cure but there are some high ranking officers wanting to keep this under wraps and all to themselves for a reason. This leads to a lot of action scenes that involves mainly helicopters. Overall not a bad action-disaster film. Just rewatched this film right after the height of the covid-19 pandemic so it gave me a few chills. 7/10.

A virus carried from an African monkey takes an amazing journey to infect a small U.S. town in this deeply disturbing and frightening film. The virus makes Ebola look like the common flu as it moves from person to person in a matter of seconds it seems. The fact that it is airborne just adds to its destruction. Wolfgang Petersen's typical intriguing screenplay and the top-notch performances from Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Spacey, Rene Russo, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Morgan Freeman and Donald Sutherland all add a real tension and fear in this surprising thrill-ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat until its finale. Somewhat simple story-line told near perfectly. 4 stars out of 5.

Unlike some other movies about pandemic like twelve monkeys, I am satisfied with this one. The only thing I did not like is that it is bit too old and that makes it look less real for us young people. I expected something more scientific and emotional and mysterious, but it was more action and war. Bit unfinished end too. But at least in here it is on topic, serious, realistic, clear to me. The best part was the presence of army which looked so realistic, even better than the main thing happening with two saviors and monkey. Unlike most other movies this one is not funny, but there is a bit of charisma and fun.

Starting off promisingly as an engrossing medical thriller about terrifyingly contagious African virus, 'Outbreak,' unfortunately, soon mutates into a seriously weak, cliché-riddled military cover-up story. Still fun to watch - just don't dwell too long on the implausibilities of the plot.

This was a fairly decent movie about a lethal virus carried to the U.S. by a monkey. The virus replicates quickly, causing a national scare, and the military, led by Dustin Hoffman and Rene Russo, tries to contain it. What was most scary about this film was that I felt it could actually happen. Rent this one if you haven't seen it! *** out of ****

There is a pandemic of an extremely infectious and fast-acting virus with a hundred percent fatal outcome. While virologists are trying to curb the spread and save the sick, the army is preparing to bomb the affected area to prevent anyone from finding out it was a biological weapon they lost control of. Pretty tense and very well done with a fantastic cast - Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, Cuba Gooding Jr., Donald Sutherland, Patrick Dempsey. 8/10

If you dislike Hollywood cliches then stay away. NOTHING deviates from the painfully predictable. Why does a in principle good director with a in principle good idea for a script hire a in principle good cast and then kill it all in mindless cliches?? They are all there, I won't bother to mention them, think of one and it's there. Especially Dustin Hoffman's character is unbearable to watch and that's not good as he IS the film. If they had spend maybe 1000 dollars more on a decent script writer with just a few original thoughts it could have been a good film.

'This movie bleeds from every orifice. There is no way you can fail to predict the outcome of every character within ten seconds after they appear.
