Watch John Q For Free

disgusting, overrated, pointless

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Well wrapped film about USA hell care, haha! I saw it as a dramatic comedy and it was funny, hilarious at times, and very well played. Excellent storyline that makes enough sense to be almost believable as is. Good message of course with a good ending but the story had me gripped and laughing at the same time, all along.

All she does is bark at the husband that he needs to do something, needs to try harder at everything he does. Furthermore: first, she's in the doctors' faces about inquiring what's wrong with her son while they're trying to focus on diagnosing him; then, she's repeatedly stressing to James Woods and Anne Heche at the table that she doesn't understand why this is happening because just that morning, he was fine. I wanted to be at the table with all of them and jump down her throat, "Well he's not fine anymore, obviously, so get that out of your head and just listen and comprehend what they're trying to draw in crayon for you."

I love this movie, and have ever since I could remember. I feel like people that are giving this movie a bad review is just over analyzing every little detail. Denzel Washington is as fantastic as ever and makes this movie as emotional as it is. I think this movie is pretty accurate to how American health systems work, yet there are still flaws to how it was portrayed in the movie--THIS IS TYPICAL!! If it were completely accurate, I'm pretty sure everyone would be drooling from napping because the movie would be so boring. This has the perfect amount of drama, excitement, comedy, and everything in between! I think people just need to sit down and relax while watching this movie, because if you're going to pick at every detail you are not going to have a good time watching it. I would love to own this movie, but I see it on TV about once a year and each time I get so excited to watch it. It's so heartfelt and moving and I think anyone would enjoy this movie!

Denzel Washington plays John Quincy Archibald, father of Mike (Daniel E. Smith) falls hard all of a sudden at a baseball game, which ultimately set the story in motion. The diagnosis, needing a heart transplant, everything only get harder when John goes to the insurance company and finds that his insurance does not cover this type of procedure.The movie tells about an American society that has been blinded by capitalism. Everything is in the dire hands of 'Money'. The hospital, unwilling to do what they would normally do to save someone's life, turns a head… only to put his son onto the transplant list if they had the money. James Woods who stars as Dr. Raymond Turner, display rigidness of professionalism, while Anne Heche who stars as Rebecca Payne, display utter coldness that nearly got me wanting to pick up a chair and throw it at her.Every day even before what had just happened, John and his wife Denise (Kimberly Elise) tries their best to make ends meet, and then now trying and doing everything possible to collect money needed just to get his son on the list. A father, loving and caring, must come up with 250,000 dollars to pay for his son's heart transplant. Their friends, and countless others, do their best to help the couple raise money. Soon, almost everything they have is on the market and sold.It was not enough. Out of options, and out of time, a father pushed to the limits to save his son. In all desperation and having hardly enough to get anything accomplished, John holds the entire hospital's emergency room hostage. He sets the one demand for his son to be put on that list so that the doctors can proceed with the transplant. The ending only leaves you chills to the bone as to what a father is left to do in order to be heard.Denzel Washington is one of the greatest actors of our time and he proves it here playing a father in utter distraught. I recommend this movie!
