If you like modern "plague" and government conspiracy movies like 12 Monkeys, Outbreak, etc., skip this terrible mess. If you have never, ever seen a conspiracy movie you might like it. But if you have ever enjoyed this kind of thing, "Contaminated Man" will drive you nuts. Between the holes in the plot, the bad acting and the ridiculous twists, it was all I could do to get through it. Peter Weller must have been under an evil fairy's spell when he took this part, William Hurt is earnest but wasted, and the rest of the cast seems to have been over-dubbed. Nice shots of Budapest, though. And lots of great snow scenery. Otherwise this is a really, really bad, bad, bad movie.

It appears as if the original footage has been squashed in to fit on the DVD in a more squarish, rectangular way, so that everything on the DVD looks elongated and ultra-thin. Very distracting - I couldn't watch the movie.

It seems to me, that this being an older movie from 2000, that the movie Contagion took some of its ideas from this film. A somewhat good acting job by William Hurt. I would however only rate this movie as just ok. There are just too many twists in the plot.
