Extreme Measures: Review

EXTREME MEASURES
starstarstarstar
A pretty tight medical thriller that features all the usual suspects: High-handed senior physicians, overworked residents and nurses, beleaguered administrators, and patients who should consider themselves lucky every time they come in to the hospital with an infected toenail and don't go out in a coma. Hugh Grant is the brilliant Dr. Guy Luthan, who's doing his residency at New York's chaotic Gramercy Hospital. A naked homeless man is brought into the ER and dies while Luthan is trying to make sense of his bizarre symptoms. The curious MD pokes his pointy nose into the matter and uncovers a sinister conspiracy involving esteemed surgeon Dr. Lawrence Myrick (Gene Hackman). Hackman's role requires him to spend so little time on screen that it's virtually an above-the-title cameo, and Grant trots out his trademark charming mannerisms, which look a bit fresher than usual by virtue of the darker than usual context. Be warned: Director Michael Apted does not resist the temptation to preach. leave a comment
