Desperate Measures has recovered its momentum to ultimately confirm its place as an erratically-paced yet predominantly entertaining thriller.

| Original Score: D | Sep 7, 2011

"Desperate Measures" is a drawn-out, and purely disposable, suspense thriller.

| Original Score: C | May 19, 2009

Primarily, the movie works as a showcase for Garcia and Keaton.

| Original Score: B | Jul 30, 2007

A preposterous yet entertaining thriller with Michael Keaton stretching admirably as a Hannibal Lecter-style killer.

Keaton and Garcia have never been any more desperate than in this silly film.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 22, 2002

an astoundingly inept thriller that's easily the worst movie ever directed by Barbet Schroeder and may well prove to be an all-time low for everyone else involved with it.

uma pena que este seja um filme de ao. A premissa do filme to forte e bem armada que, com certeza, poderia ter gerado uma histria muito mais dramtica e complexa.
