Review of Desperate Measures (1998) by Douglas L — 20 Mar 2012

Desperate Measures is the perfect example of a film that is superficially entertaining but artistically inept. Great performances are undermined by a plastic environment and set-up. Imagine Die Hard stripped of all the things that made it memorable and unique and replaced with a disposable style of one situation set up specially just to get us to the next scene and explosion and eventually to the end.
