I love this film, I can't stop watching it

Michael Keaton's character is great, and the action is riveting. I don't care what anyone else says, it is seriously UNDERRATED. 8/10

I'm not a troll. What you see above is what I actually feel. Take it or leave it, bub.

I feel EXACTLY the same way.

Me too, Keaton was a badass in this film! He should have come back and done a Dark Knight Returns movie right after this, playing an older Batman. He obviously was in good enough shape, he looks almost as buff as Christian Bale did for his Batman role!

I'm right on board with you. Just when I thought it would be over, it kept going. I looked at my friend and said, "Oh my god...this movie is like non-stop action. Andy can't catch Keaton no matter how close he gets and he can't kill him because then his son dies!" and my friend said "Dude...I know, I'm watching the same thing as you are." LMAO

Our day of doing arts and crafts ended up being a pretty damn good one. We watched "Shutter Island" first then we went straight to "Desperate Measures".

This is a ridiculous, by-the-book piece of Hollywood action, yet a very entertaining one at that. I can't say I liked it as much as you did, but I think it's a solid 6/10 stars.

Yes the movie is Hollywood by the numbers, but Keaton makes McCabe a villain to watch.
