No detailed or convincing explanation of how spice worked from memory, there was a short history of its use though.
The IMDB seems to be more “popularity” based, how would your average Joe react as opposed to yer regular discerning critic. The RT score for Extreme Measures is slightly below the IMDB score, as some parts of the film took on a rather shaky direction. Gene Hackmann vs. Hugh Grant went the way of chalk vs. cheese and the interplay of the goons in the plot lurched it back into the doldrums of B grade schlock. The building tension and dialog kept the movie afloat, just.
