OUTBREAK (Released to Theaters USA 1995)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Outbreak—outperforms many pandemic movies—is believable due to very good acting and pacing. It builds to a climax that is well orchestrated and has a welcome conclusion. The makeup department deserves kudos for the facial makeup of infected persons. This is a good watch for audiences looking for  pandemic-styled entertainment.

Storyline 

 A man, working in a laboratory, takes a female Capuchin monkey and tries to get a profit for her at a pet store in the USA, but the owner needs a male Capuchin monkey.
