The subject of a city ravished by a contagious disease couldn't be more relevant. But the project is steeped in pretension and inept direction. You'll want to get vaccinated by the time it ends. Go to Full Review

12/23/2018 Awesome - historically accurate and great viewing See more Frances H 06/01/2015 Any film based on a work by Camus will be interesting, and this one has the bonus of some fine actors. See more 09/21/2011 Was a good movie overall, but lacked a little something that caused me to lose interest from time to time. But towards the end things got a bit better and it was worth watching. I just wouldn't buy it. See more 04/03/2009 This is an intresting film I enjoyed it you have to watch it quite carefully to understand because its so much detail in the film the directing wasnt fabolous but I thought the acting in it was just great overall I would say its a good film its bast on a true story saw if you want to learn a bit of History this is the film to watch its not a film to watch for a bit of a laugh on a weekend but it does have a story line to it and its quite good its not the best film I have watched but it is a good storyline to it and I wouldnt say it was a bad film but I got to say it had a very good story line to it and the acting was quite pleaseing. See more 05/21/2008 Duvall and Hurt. Nice combination, and well, a fairly good movie. See more Read all reviews
