Extreme Measures
1996 · 1h 58m · Drama, Thriller
This 1990s medical thriller has the bones of a solid conspiracy drama, but it's largely forgotten for a reason—it's a perfectly serviceable but unremarkable entry in the genre that never quite justifies its premise. **SKIP** unless you're a completist hunting for Hugh Grant thrillers or have nothing else in your queue.
Plot
Guy Luthan, a British doctor working at a hospital in New York, starts making unwelcome enquiries when the body of a man who died in his emergency room disappears. After the trail leads Luthan to the door of an eminent surgeon at the hospital, Luthan soon finds himself in extreme danger from people who want the hospital's secret to remain undiscovered.
