Hugely fun thriller. Crichton wasn't great at creating characters but here he's got an ace cast - Genevieve Bujold as the investigating doctor, Michael Douglas as her boyfriend, Richard Widmark and Rip Torn as possible villains. There's appearances by Ed Haris, Lois Chiles and Tom Selleck. The hospitals are creepy the director's experience with them helps sell it. He's better at suspense than action.
Some camp - the love interlde, Bujold attending dance class and hopping in the shower.
