Reviews:

Good thriller
I enjoyed the suspense in this movie and the ethical debate as well. Hugh Grant, in a rare non-comedic role, was very convincing and Gene Hackman, as always, was first rate. The rest of the supporting cast, notably Sarah Jessica Parker and David Morse, were more than competent in their marginal roles. All in all, 7/10.

Playing God
Having read the Michael Palmer’s book a few years ago, I missed the screen version on purpose. Sometimes a book stays vividly in one’s imagination that it’s inevitably to make unfair comparisons between the movie and what we remember of the book. When this film showed on cable the other day, it was a good excuse to watch it because of its director, Michael Apted, and its cast.

If you haven’t watched the movie, please stop reading now.

The mere idea of a scientist using humans as guinea pigs for his experiments is thoroughly repugnant. Yet, what Mr. Palmer presented in his novel, and what it’s at stake here is how easy it is to gather unsuspecting people to experiment with them a technique that might be fatal, as it’s proved in the opening sequence of the film.

We watch in horror how the bald headed man lands up in the emergency room of the big city hospital where Guy Luthan, the up and coming intern, faces a crisis in trying to help this poor man who goes into convulsions and whose blood pressure goes up and down without any logical explanation. The strange illness affecting this man is not known until he tells the doctor a name that might be a medicine, a procedure, or a place.

Because of Dr. Luthan’s quest to unravel the mystery behind this patient, he ends up being at odds with the scientist who’s been conducting the procedure, Dr. Myrick. This man the key to whatever happens to young Guy Luthan, who doesn’t give up against all the conspiracy around him, risking his life at different times.

As a thriller, “Extreme Measures” offers a great ride for the fans of an accomplished thriller. Mr. Apted has directed with verve. The only weak link with the film is a bland Hugh Grant in the leading role. Mr. Grant is an excellent comedy actor. His take Guy Luthan is fine, but one wonders what another actor would have been able to do with the role.

Gene Hackman, as Dr. Myrick, shows why he is a class act. Mr. Hackman is totally believable as the mad man with no scruples. His reasoning at the end is chilling. Yes, there are people that die every day, but is it for him to determine which ones will be his victims in search of a possible discovery for what he is trying to accomplish? After all, like Guy tells him, these people didn’t choose to participate in the experiment, at all..

The supporting cast is good. David Morse, who we have seen in the theater in many plays in the New York stage, is one of the best character actors working in movies these days. His account of the FBI man, Frank Hare, shows a man torn between a paralyzed wife, that might be saved by Dr. Myrick’s experiment and his blind loyalty to a mad scientist. Bill Nunn, Paul Guilfoyle, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Debra Monk add another dimension to the film.

The movie will entertain as well as will make the viewer think about how far can science go when the power is in the hands of a crazy person. Michael Apted direction shows great flair in telling the story.
