Last night I attended a screening of the film Extraordinary Measures starring Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser, and Keri Russell, set for release on January 22, 2010. It's a remarkable real life story of human action, pursuit of self interest, entrepreneurial skill, scientific ingenuity, and the indispensable role of profit maximizing financiers and corporate executives, and how it all comes together to produce a medical miracle. Yes, the business types were at times portrayed as unlikeable, but missing were the villainous corporations and heroic trial lawyers. And thankfully, government bureaucrats and politicians were no where to be found. See trailer below.
