When an international traveler (Gwyneth Paltrow) returns to Minneapolis from business in Hong Kong, what she thought was jet lag takes a virulent turn. Two days later, she's dead in the ER and the doctors tell her shocked and grieving husband (Matt Damon) they have no idea why.
As you would expect from a director of Soderbergh's stature, this is a very well made film. It contains a top notch cast and an interesting story. The pacing is fine and kept me interested throughout (never looked at my watch). But, to my taste this is less a thriller and more a documentary style film. Though sold as a thriller, I was never on the edge of my seat nor did I ever get invested in this film. Those with medical backgrounds will probably be more interested than I was as it appears to be medically detailed and accurate.
I saw this in the IMAX presentation but there's no reason for you to spend the extra money unless you just love the giant screen. A large screen simply isn't necessary for the story being told. Theatres/Times. IMAX Times.
