"infectious disease"

It may be the star effect. Everyone's expectations are too high. In fact, the film is not so bad. Steven Soderbergh has a good control of the whole film's cool tone, lighting, and switching. Although it is the director's favorite group show, it's just that Scott Z. Burns's script really doesn't give much room for characters, and it's really a waste of so many big names.

Soderbergh is not a writer and director, and he really has no more than three scripts of his own. Aside from commercial films, the instability of his film spectrum is due to the close relationship between the script and his demands. This time the plot itself is a bit old-fashioned, and there are not many special sparks between the segments. The whole thing looks like the creator is very addicted to himself.
