From WaPo: A researcher from the CDC has vanished.

He's been missing since Feb. 12th when he left work not feeling well. According to my take on the article, this was out of character for the epidemiologist, although they are not suspecting foul play--yet.

As many of Gillian's oeuvre, it is a bit dark.

A worthwhile look nonetheless. Good cast.

It is one of my favorites.

I love Brad Pitt as a mental patient in a minor role. It is worth seeing for that alone
