Reviews:

Good medical drama with an excellent performance by Harrison Ford – but could’ve have been much better…
I recently had the pleasure of renting a DVD copy of the based on true events drama Extraordinary Measures (2010), in which Harrison Ford turns out a very dramatic and moving role (didn’t you guys wonder where he went after Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?).

Unfortunately, the film as a whole is less than the sum of its parts (i’ll soon get to the main reason why). What it does have is a moving script about a father (Brandon Frazer) who’s willing to do everything to save his two ill kids, who suffer from Pompei Disease. To that end, he turns to Harrison Ford’s character, who is sort of a loner and quite an eccentric medical researcher, who developed a theory that might prevent the disease from progressing. Ford practically saves the film with his quirky performance, one which I found that really suits his older and more mature persona (like seen in his recent indie turn, Crossing Over, which came out in early 2009).

Too bad Frazer couldn’t carry the rest of the weight of the film properly, and gave a performance that seems like its more fitting to a Hallmark drama than a haunting family drama – because the characters, overall story and especially Ford could’ve easily added up to much, much more. I gave it a strong, but not great, 7 out of 10.

Hollywood’s formulaic and generic version of real life
“Extraordinary Measures” is one of those “feel-good”, “inspirational” films which is actually feel-good and inspirational but in a very generic kind-of-way.

Brendan Fraser awkwardly stars as a businessman who desperately hopes that “they” will find a cure for Pompe disease, which two of his children are dying from. As you would expect, he stays up late researching trying to find the latest advances. This teams him up with Harrison Ford, an unpersonable scientist, who also provides the few comic relief moments.

Based on a true story, but in such a way that although the overall story may come from real life, all the events shown are surely fictional. It’s dramatic when we need it to be and things work out when we need them to – way too formulaic and tidy for real life. They tell us some of the science behind the cure, which is of course nonsense, but it’s supposed to get the audience more invested in what’s happening; however, it’s just a reminder that this is Hollywood not real life.

Let me go back to the beginning, “Extraordinary Measures” is feel-good and inspirational, and if you like those types of movies, this one plays out exactly as it’s supposed to. You’ll get swept up into the story and cry when you’re supposed to. Everything is right on cue.
