    It's impossible to walk away from John Q. without thinking about the film that could have been. The pathetic state of health care in the U.S. and the desperate behavior it engenders is not only worthy but edgy material; no doubt director Nick Cassavetes (She's So Lovely) and Denzel Washington (as well as Robert Duvall, Ray Liotta, James Woods, and Anne Heche) were drawn to the provocative pitch. The only snag is that John Q. has about as much edge as an after-school special. Washington plays John Quincy Archibald, a hard-working factory worker whose house stands to be repossessed and whose lovely wife (Kimberly Elise) is at her wits' end. When his extremely cute son collapses while rounding the bases in a Little League game, things go from bad to worse. John Q. takes a downtown Chicago emergency room hostage when he learns that the heart transplant his son needs won't be performed because his health care doesn't cover it. The action-drama that ensues--replete with one-liners, stilted debate, inept snipers, and multiple references to O.J. Simpson's white Bronco--is so littered with clichés that the issues, timely ones, get lost in a crescendo of melodrama. --Fionn Meade

    5 out of 5 stars Health Care   March 14, 2010
    J. Woodie
    If this movie doesn't prove that we need health care reform, nothing will. No parent should EVER be put in this situation.


    5 out of 5 stars John Q. (Infinifilm Edition)   January 24, 2010
    Arnita D. Brown (USA)
    John Quincy Archibald's son Michael collapses while playing baseball as a result of heart failure. John rushes Michael to a hospital emergency room where he is informed that Michael's only hope is a transplant. Unfortunately, John's insurance won't cover his son's transplant. Out of options, John Q. takes the emergency room staff and patients hostage until hospital doctors agree to do the transplant. "John Q" is a thought-provoking movie that will cause you to think and learn about sometimes forgotten aspects of human life. Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself in this delightful movie. A very human and affecting drama.


    5 out of 5 stars Things that make you go hmmmm   January 7, 2010
    JesusLover
    This movie really highlights the problems with our current healthcare system without being preachy or endorsing ideas that are potentially more detrimental to America. It gets two thumbs up!


    4 out of 5 stars Emotional but Good   November 30, 2009
    slb (New Mexico)
    The movie is good and brings out strong emotions, because you know this scenario plays out all across
    the US in every hospital. You find yourself wanting to get up and so 'something' because you get so
    angry thinking about it; whether you have a sick child or not.



    5 out of 5 stars awesome movie   October 3, 2009
    Linda Grubb
    This is a movie that any parent can realate to. Whether you have a sick child or not, it is one that will tug at your heart stings. Denzel Washington is a man that I would so want in my corner if I had issues like this... You won't be sorry to watched it...
