Contagion.
Started off really well and there were some shocking deaths and some very good effects, although when the film started with "Day 2" you knew the kicker was going to pop up somewhere.
So anyone, I was looking forward to seeing the story unfolding ala The Stand and then, all of a sudden, the film was over.
It ticked all the boxes to make a great film, but fell way way short, none of the questions were answered other than what kicked it all off, you never figured out if it was a scam, if she gave it to her lover, why he gave it to the kid, what happened with the government, etc, etc.
from a solid 4 out of 5 at the start it fizzled out into a 1 out of 5 towards the end.
