The film opens on an oppressively despondent note. All of us at some point have felt the overwhelming burden of a rut, of a mundane life that is constituted by living the same day over and over again. Our protagonist is located at the heart of one such circumstance. 
Even on his birthday, the emptiness and isolation of his lackluster life have left him drunk and alone in his car. However, when his path crosses with two men in an unlikely manner, a story of thrill and foolhardy behavior commences, a story that is never devoid of humor and inherent bonhomie. The two constantly define the situation as the protagonist now finds himself celebrating his twenty-ninth birthday with four men living a life vastly different from his. 
The chemistry of the actors, and the performances they bring to life, embellish the film markedly. The result is an honest glimpse into a problem that often plagues urban existence, and presents storytelling, and world-construction that exhibit deep potential and must be explored further in future projects.

‘The Outbreak’ is defined by an unmissable sleekness, and an equally complementary background score to go with it all. It is located in a world that has battled a lockdown for a year, up to a point where people have run out of food. They have now resorted to cannibalism and hunting each other down. 

As the announcer on the radio acquaints us with this world, the protagonist’s pursuit of securing his survival continues. The film is further embellished with a competent edit that keeps the action rolling in a high-paced manner. Whether escape is available for the humans trapped in the world of ‘The Outbreak’ is anyone’s guess, but as for the film, it surely remains an entertaining, consistent watch throughout.
