Extreme Measures
1996
**½
Director: Michael Apted
Cast: Hugh Grant, Gene Hackman, Sarah Jessica Parker, David Morse

It's refreshing to see Hugh Grant in a more dramatic role for a change. He plays a doctor who becomes curious when the body of his mysteriously ill patient disappears without a trace. Unfortunately storywise this drama is basically just a remake of Coma. Based on Michael Palmer's novel.
