Critical Condition
Where to Watch Critical Condition
- ርልዪረ1 april 2026Confidence man Richard Pryor is caught with dangerous racketeers and is found guilty of the same crimes. To delay, he pretends to be crazy. He is sent to the psychiatric ward of a hospital for appraisal. While he is trying to escape, a storm strikes, the hospital is cut off from the mainland, and the power goes. Because he is wearing a lab coat, people think he is a doctor and look to him to take charge. It's not the best comedy Pryor ever starred in, nor anywhere near the best movie Michael Apted directed.. He didn't write the script and has only one scene of wild improvization. Nonetheless, the role is a good fit for him and despite the foreordained ending, there are good moments. Bob Dishy is excellent as a surgeon who starts out thinking of nothing but legal liability. Bob Saget is very good as a resident lacking all self confidence, and Wesley Snipes can be spotted in an early, tiny role.

Symptomen: acute prikkeling van de lachspieren en heftig schuddebuiken. Diagnose? Pryor speelt een crimineel die doet alsof hij gek is om uit de gevangenis te blijven. Hij komt op de psychiatrische afdeling van een ziekenhuis terecht en dan begint de gekte pas goed, als hij tijdens een stroomuitval ontsnapt en zich als dokter verkleedt. Op de een of andere manier brengt Pryor orde in de chaos, zelfs als hij onorthodoxe lichamelijke onderzoeken doet, een baby ter wereld helpt en een helikopter als airconditioning gebruikt.
