| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Extreme Measures |
|---|
A doctor gets a patient who mysteriously dies. The doctor looks into this man's files to find out what caused it. He discovers that the files have been erased and people are starting to become suspicious. It starts to look like the man was never at the hospital. The doctor then gets framed for drug possession and tries to find out who set him up. As he uncovers the truth he realizes another doctor is trying to find a cure for paralysis, but is using human test subjects. Also, the closer he comes to unraveling the mystery the more dangerous it becomes and he realizes that he can't trust anyone.
