Jake M @jakemcginnis 2d Denzel carried this film acting was very mid Serious situations and had people cracking jokes Other than that film had good message See more Mik S @Miki351 2d WOW Top movie & what top actors they chose. A tear jerker so def need tissues. Sadly I believe similar situations like these actually occur so it’s an eye opener & so heartbreaking. Proves to show what a decent human is capable of for the one they love. 💯 recommend to watch See more Magic M @RT03841956 2d The 22% score of this movie says a lot about rotten tomatoes more than it could ever say about this movie or Denzel Washingtons brilliant performance. This is a feel good movie with real source material that touches a lot of people because of their own personal experience with navigating the healthcare system. Is the whole plot perfectly realistic? No and niether is django unchained or harry potter and yet somehow i enjoy those just fine. First of all why is that even a critique? What i care most about is do i care about the characters. John archibald is a heroic loving father that i was rooting for the whole time. This movie gave me tears and laughs and has an award winning performance by denzel. This is an instant classic feel good movie about family and sacrifice. A must see — highly recommend—- dont trust the tomatoer see for urself:) See more Norm M @Norrimac 3d Starts off quite well then halfway through descends into total dross. Washington must've been broke to make this garbage. Good for him.But don't waste your time. Even the ending is... (work it out) See more Alberto C @TitoCrespo Jul 29 A social issue—so serious and profound, claiming thousands of lives every year—treated in such an infantile way. A typical American production. Opportunity lost See more Yash B @yashbansal Jul 21 "John Q" lacks any sort of subtlety and is very in-your-face with its messages. That being said, it is very well-intentioned and tackles a topic that is still very relevant even today. As a hostage thriller, it is an entertaining and engaging movie that kept me invested in the central plot. A lot of the stylistic choices do feel very old school, and sometimes it doesn't work, but Denzel Washington's performance certainly carries it to a higher level. Overall, this is a movie that at times beats the audience with its social commentary, but for the most part is a solid movie that makes an honest effort to make a point as well as engage the viewer.
