Movie Haiku:Gwyneth Paltrow plays a road warrior who catches a mysterious bug which she transmits thru every stray encounter on Planet Earth before dying immediately thereafter... & the plague spreads to everyone all round the globe... except her husband (Damon). Some good scenes (especially with Ehle & her CDC cohort), but this is even more hollow than Soderbergh''s annoying TRAFFIC.
