I must admit at first I thought this was an action flick because of the poster and the title. Haven’t given it much thought since the past few weeks were filled with 3D wonders. A few minutes into the flick, teary-eyed I wondered why there wasn’t that much “noise” about it and hopes a lot of people will watch it..you won’t regret it!

Harrison Ford is a brilliant biochemist with a hypothetical theory on how to treat Pompe’s disease (glycogen storage disease type II/acid maltase deficiency or simply put, the build-up of glycogen causes progressive muscle weakness (myopathy) throughout the body and affects various body tissues, particularly in the heart, skeletal muscles, liver and nervous system).

Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell (The Crowleys) are parents of two children afflicted with Pompe’s disease. A near death attack prodded the father (Fraser), to take extreme measures to find a cure.

Extraordinary Measures (CBS Films) is not just a medical drama movie because the treatment is realistic and the medical scenes are not that technical. It is based on a true story (from the Geeta Anand book “The Cure”) and for that I wish Tom Vaughan (director)could have shown not just the caring/accepting side of the parents, but also the raw emotions of frustrations and/or disappointments in dealing with the disease.

What I stated are not spoilers because there’s definitely a lot more. Rated PG.
