Aleksandar D A raw portrayal of the Western healthcare system. Denzel is top as always. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Blu B A Denzel Classic. He's really good and the best thing in this. It makes you angry throughout watching it for how accurate it paints healthcare for half the country that wasn't born on the working side of the system. It als does a great job explaining the medical and insurance technical jargon overall as well. The story makes perfect sense and you do feel for an impossible situation. The editing isn't bad but it can feel like at times it's not the smoothest with it's storytelling. It can feel like stuff just happens not in the most cohesive manner which probalby could've been done smoother. Everything else though is pretty solid about it. The other major flaws here is the messaging is VERY on the nose, the setup is very over the top at times especially when he is gonna kill himself and injects lots of sentimetal moments and feels very over the top. The direction also is pretty basic stuff as well and the setting is kind of forgetful in the ER mainly because theres nothing that memorable about it. Just a lot of metallic dull grey. It does do a fairly decent job though of maintiaining tension though. It's fairly simliar to The Negotiator in that regard but not as clever or tense. It just needed to not be as on the nose, better direction, and just less tugging at the heartstrings, and maybe a bit less over the top moments too. Focusing more on the subsance of the manner. But it does work at raising awareness of health disparities and doing so with characters you care about and Denzel. Anyone who is a fan of any actors in this, thriller dramas, or is interested in the subject manner should check this out. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Uma lição sobre entrega, coragem e muita empatia. O retrato de um pai disposto a dar tudo de si para salvar seu filho lutando contra um sistema de saúde desumano. Denzel Washington é John Archibald e nesta obra prima nos brinda com uma performance comovente e convincente.
