More like Necessary Measures. Good Movie!
30 April 2010
I honestly enjoyed this movie because it was not based on over-played sentiments and this made it to drawn in the audience. The movie is a drama based on real events about the efforts that John Crowley, a businessman and Aileen Crowley, his wife, put up to help finding a cure for their two sons who are suffering from a genetic disorder named as Pome Syndrome. The story is not that complicated actually it's very predictable but the character development and interrelationship between those characters is pretty convincing not to mention the conflicts developed between John and Dr. Stonehill.

Harrison Ford, who portrays the anxious and hard-working scientist and researcher Dr. Stonehill, shows us that his acting capabilities are not over yet and he still could pull a honest and beliavable performance. As for John Crowley who was played by Branden Fraser at certain points of the movie I just couldn't get his acting but overall he managed it well. The dialogue in this movie is pretty much realistic except for one or two scenes.

The sound and video editing of the movie were nothing impressive but fitted the movie perfectly, the cinematography used was similar to a family-movie but what I always questioned was where I heard that score? ... The music used in this film had been used in other movies I think or it may sound like something I heard before.... so... I'm still trying' to figure it out.

The point is this is a nice movie, over my expectations and I strongly recommend it because it's not that kind of a drama where you'll shed tears at the end of the movie feeling bad for someone.
