Review – Extreme Measures

Tense medical drama a la Coma, complete with evil doings involving helpless research victims. I suspect this looked a little better in the treatment stage than it turned out to be once it was in the can, and at least part of the problem is the script. Though where this film is going is always fairly clear, the plot moves in fits and spurts (wasting a lot of time on the sinister destruction of the Hugh Grant character’s reputation). An occasional good moment, but otherwise this is mostly fodder for ethics professors looking to throw in a videotape for their classes to save them a lecture or two. Mildly amusing
