Extreme Measures (1996)

Against the warnings of his superiors, doctor Hugh Grant attempts to figure out the circumstances that brought a mysterious homeless patient to his ER. He soon finds his personal and professional life threatened on all levels as he gets closer to the truth. It’s a fairly middling medical thriller that is silly when it strays from the expected. For better or worse, it stays nearer the expected where I couldn’t be certain I haven’t seen it before. With Gene Hackman as the prime baddie backed up by David Morse in yet another law enforcement role, it does have an appealing cast and it’s nice seeing Sarah Jessica Parker in a more intelligent and more serious role than her usual.
