Movie Reviews of The Doctor
Movie Review: CALLING DR KILDARE.
Summary: 3 Stars
One of the most unevenly produced pictures you're likely to see. It's Hurt's film, and does he ever hurt it. The movie begins with his surgical team operating successfully in a totally unprofessional manner-loose, seemingly under disciplined. Hurt thus begins to show the true colors of his personality; you'd better be on the same page as this fellow or look out! Wisecracks turn to firmness to deadly seriousess in a New York second, and one has to be ever alert to this obvious defense mechanism of keeping others at arm's length,of keeping total control. When potential death comes calling for him, he's totally unprepared for the ordeals that patients face every day-endless paperwork,waiting, incorrect prescriptions, waiting, systemic breakdowns, mis- diagnoses, lack of privacy,waiting, et al. If the film is any good at all, it's in this area, pointing out how broken the system is.In fighting his cancer, Hurt truculently rejects all advice, thus endangering his patients. Finally, he shows terrible judgment, spending days with a misdiagnosed,terminal cancer patient, thus endangering his already fragile marriage. Many reviewers see this as a very realistic film, and in many ways it is. Just don't have Dr.Hurt operating on me. Please send in the team of Dr. Howard, Dr.Fine, and Dr. Howard.
