Extraordinary Measures – He’s the one to put money on
Extraordinary Measures – More important things to care about
Plot:
“A drama centered on the efforts of John and Aileen Crowley to find a researcher who might have a cure for their two children’s rare genetic disorder.”
I have much respect for John Crowley and his wife. They’re more than determined to fight against the fatality of their children’s disease. Love can move mountains I heard, well this story is a stark example!

The movie trailer of Extraordinary Measures, an upcoming drama movie starring Harrison Ford and Brendan Fraser, has been released:
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES
Inspired by a true story
They had everything to lose, so they risked it all.
Don’t hope for a miracle: make one!
Plot:
“John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley’s two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. Crowley who does not want to give up decides then to team up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time.
The fate of John’s children is at stake.”
I’d say that Extraordinary Measures is like the movie Taken: it’s about a father who’s ready to anything to save his children, just that the enemy here is a nasty genetic disorder. I think Extraordinary Measures will be a quite interesting movie. And if lucky, it will make more people aware that we need to fund research to fight against those genetic disorders!

Science is not evil: can’t tell as much about those religious bigots who, under the cover of religion, want to hinder scientists from helping people suffering from genetic disorders… God bless our scientists, those who really contribute to make our world better!

Plot:
“From his working class roots, John Crowley (Brendan Fraser) has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Harrison Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time.
But, at the last minute, when it appears that a solution has been found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test – the outcome of which will affect the fate of John’s children.”
Cast:
– Brendan Fraser as John Crowley
– Keri Russell as Aileen Crowley, John’s wife

The movie Extraordinary Measures is based on the true story of John Crowley, the father of a family whose kids suffer from Pompe disease:
May God bless John Crowley for he is a real hero! And may this story open the eyes of those religious bigots and other Luddites who want to hinder science from making a better world in which kids can be cured from genetics disorders!
