Synopsis
Desperate Measures (1998) is a crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Barbet Schroeder and starring Andy Garcia alongside Michael Keaton.
San Francisco detective Frank Connor is out of options. His young son is dying and needs a bone marrow transplant — and the only compatible donor is Peter McCabe, a convicted serial killer scheduled for execution. Connor pulls strings to get McCabe transferred to a hospital for the procedure. McCabe, predictably, sees it as his exit. He escapes, turning the entire hospital into a war zone, and Connor is stuck in an impossible bind: protect the man he's supposed to catch, or his boy dies. Keaton plays McCabe as someone who has thought three moves ahead before anyone else even sits down at the board.
The film works best as a trap the screenwriters built for one decent man. Stream Desperate Measures (1998) in full on iFILM.
