Plot summary

San Francisco police officer Frank Connor is in a frantic search for a compatible bone marrow donor for his gravely ill son. There's only one catch the potential donor is convicted multiple murderer Peter McCabe who sees a trip to the hospital as the perfect opportunity to get what he wants most: freedom. With McCabe's escape, the entire hospital becomes a battleground and Connor must pursue and, ironically, protect the deadly fugitive who is his son's only hope for survival.

This movie is jam packed action like legit

This movie is jam packed action like legit start to finish entertaining. Typically in the beginning of action movies it will be stagnant but this was entertaining from the beginning even making its way to the mid point. All in All pretty good action movie. I like the plot of the movie were its more complex in terms of the cop. Im trying not to give away too much and spoil the movie but ill just say that you wont be disappointed. Michael Keaton was a pretty good bad guy in the movie ill leave it at that.

1998. Wow. Outlandish from the beginning. I know

1998. Wow. Outlandish from the beginning. I know they were going for some deep quandary about the value of one life over others, but the premise was just too farfetched. There's one computer guarded by the feds that contains the only list available of all possible matches for organ transplants, and there's only one other human being compatible with the son. The bone marrow becomes worthless the second the donor dies, and everyone in law enforcement keeps failing to kill a murderer on a killing spree because of the father's interference. Please find another story to make the same point.

An over the top action thriller that is

An over the top action thriller that is held together by Michael Keaton playing a complete psychopath convict who tries to escape prison life by literally trying to escape from the hospital where he is suppose to get bone marrow transplant in order to saves a young boy life.
