Summary: A Father's Love
Review: John Q starring Denzel Washington is a very touching story about a man who would sacrifice his own life to save the life of his son. His young boy has a heart that is about to explode and he is in severe need of a transplant. After getting the run around due to a lack of adequate healthcare, he does what any normal and loving parent would do. Denzel's character goes to the extreme in his attempt to save his little boy's life. It is a riveting story about a man who risks everything to challenge the healthcare system that aimed to push him aside. The movie touches on the growing problem that our country is facing in regards to proper healthcare. I was personally moved, however, by the "spiritual" typology displayed through Denzel's character. John Q was prepared to die so that his son could live... It only shows the deep love that a parent has for a child who is facing certain death. John Q was a terrific film and I recommend that everyone view this piece. Kudos!

Summary: Denzel's Worst Movie
Review: Hokie movie. Unrealistic, boring, predictable, over dramatized, and dumb. Don't even waste your money renting this video. Denzel should be ashamed for making this movie. Anyone who rates this above 1 star has issues.

Summary: Tragedy of being poor...
Review: John Quincy Archibald (Denzel Washington) is a factory worker who is struggling financially due to low demand of work force at his work and his has lost his wife's car to the bank. However, like all other families they try to get by and enjoy life whenever possible such as going to see their son play baseball. This time it is not pleasurable, because their son passes out and later at the hospital they find out that he has a heart condition, which requires a heart transplant. Their insurance will not cover the transplant, and there is not much time left for their son in this world if he does not get the heart transplant. The viewers will experience a tragic story in this film by feeling and viewing the desperate measures of John Q.

Summary: A great movie
Review: This movie is great. John's (Denzel Washington) song has a heart problem. John and his family cannot pay for heart sugery. His son is dying and needs a heart translplant. The hospital refuses to perform sugery. John Q holds everybody hostage until his son gets treatment. This movie is great. You can't move your eyes from it.

Summary: Didn't Expect it To Be That Good!
Review: I like Denzel Washington in movies but after reading what the movie was about I put off renting it for a while despite friends saying it was really good; so tonight after watching it I have to say I highly recommend it! This is Denzel Washington at his Best! Outstanding performance!

Summary: Excellent. Extremely moving...
Review: Denzel Washington perfectly portrays an average working man caught in a nightmarish situation: his young son needs an immediate heart transplant but cannot get it, because Denzel's medical insurance doesn't cover the cost, and he is unable to raise the necessary cash. Out of love and desperation he does something drastic. While I don't approve of what John Q does, I understand that he loves his son so much that he is willing to do anything to keep him alive. Once John Q decides to take matters into his own hands, there is drama, tension and suspense, and we are glued to the screen, wanting to see how this situation will resolve itself. I won't give away the ending, but will say that it is one of the most moving endings I've ever seen. Besides Denzel's fine performance, Kimberley Elise is very good in the role of his wife and the anguished mother of a dying son. Anne Heche superbly portrays the seemingly cold, uncaring hospital administrator. I highly recommend this movie.

Summary: Right actor, wrong movie
Review: OK, I was wrong. Denzel Washington DID deserve the Best Actor Oscar. They just gave it to him for the wrong movie. Awesome movie!

Summary: What a waste of great performances.
Review: I knew going in that this would be another "we need socialized healthcare" type movie but I really like Denzel Washington and James Woods. Yes it's easy for Hollywood elites earning 8 - 15 million per picture to think that socialized medicine is a great idea. Luckily these idiots only have to make movies that portray their view in a utopian world where they all wear rose colored glasses. These bozo's would never have to live with the socialized system but you would so before you go running off and whining to your congressman about Clintonized health care educate yourself on some economics and history.Denzel puts in another wonderful performance. He is great at changing emotions and bringing his character out so you can empathize with him. He is just a great performer. I have always loved Woods' work and this performance was equally as wonderful to take in. Duvall plays the same police officer as he did in "Falling Down" but it's a good character. Ray Liota is fine as the politicized police chief making sure things 'turn out okay' as it just happens to be election time etc. So we get a lot of great performances but it's all washed away in the end. Instead of the enjoyable ending we get to see all of the holly libs and top democrats getting their free airtime "commercials" on the celluloid much like Steven Segal's shameless tirade at the end of "On Dangerous Ground" where after using half of the northern hemisphere's gasoline making his dumb movie he goes after Evil Big Oil like they're the anti-Christ but they sure made his movie better and the explosions bigger. The performances in John Q are great but overall it's very unsatisfying.

Summary: Moving, strong and triumphant!
Review: Denzel Washington gives an absolute great performance in this movie and it was well done. His role as a caring father looking to save his son while having incomplete insurance and the odds stacked against him is very dramatic. James Wood also plays a great role in this film of a doctor who is trying to help Denzel but has his hands tied with red tape, expenses and the political system of the medical field. The movie moves quick and had my attention the entire time! 5 STARS!!
