      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Despite a timely topic and a pair of heavyweight leads, Extraordinary Measures never feels like much more than a made-for-TV tearjerker.

The two leads are well matched but the dialog seemed stilted. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review nilufer e Well the cast was promising and the title made it sound like an action movie so I watched it without having a clue but it was pretty boring to be honest. Even the acting was off. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B+ Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Jonathan F. Richards Film.com Harrison Ford still retains enough of his old movie star magic to ramp up the electricity a bit when he's onscreen, but this only makes you want to see him do something that makes better use of his gifts. Brendan Fraser just seems to grow bigger over the Mar 2, 2010 Full Review Ian Freer Empire Magazine Soapy and unemotional, this makes a hash of an interesting true story. Rated: 2/5 Feb 26, 2010 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Harrison Ford is enjoyable in just about everything, but somehow he plays an unlikeable character in this film. Rated: 2/10 Nov 29, 2020 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com A disappointingly ordinary film. Rated: 1.5/4.0 Sep 7, 2020 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES is an extraordinary story about some extraordinary people. An intelligent film that shoots an IV of humanity straight into your heart. Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
