Although the plot gets a bit sloppy at times..the movie is enjoyable and makes the viewer consider all sides of the health care debate. Denzel is...well he's denzel!

I loved it the only movie I have EVER gone to see 4 times at the movie theatre. I now own the movie as well. Great job Denzel Kimerley and the rest of the cast.

Questions for group discussion after the movie: 1. Was John Q justified in taking the emergency room hostage, even though his intention was to save his son? Does the end justify the means? 2. How do you assess the role of the negotiators - Duvall and Liotta? Were they not more nasty in their attitudes than John Q himself? 3. Did the doctor do well by allowing John Q to attempt to shoot himself so that his heart could be used for his son? Great movie! Useful for discussion on moral principles.

John Q is toooo good. Denzel was just perfect and excellent as usual. I wish he is given Oscar for Best Actor for John Q.

Me encanto la pelicula pero dejo con la incertudumbre de que fue lo que paso despues con el protagonista. Tambien como es que reacciono el corazon del nino con el paso del tiempo.

One of the Top 5 Drama Films I have ever seen. Excellent acting, directing, and everything else. Very emotional too. 5 Stars

User review rating: 0 August 30, 2002

i luv this movie so much.although it was so sad,!?!

User review rating: 0 July 29, 2002

It was a good movie, but there was no clear distinction between Drama and comedy.It was suppose to be a drama but it had too much comedy in it and at the end the really message was all mixed up.for that i would give this movie a four star rating.But it is a must see.

User review rating: 0 July 24, 2002

it wuz so sad........i almost cried great movie

User review rating: 0 July 08, 2002

BETTER THAN JUST GOOD

User review rating: 0 May 29, 2002

I saw it quite a while ago, but i remember liking it very much. It had some great messeges in it, and the acting was superb (especially on Denzel`s part).

User review rating: 0 April 06, 2002

it was a great movie!

User review rating: 0 April 02, 2002

What a gr8 movie! Usually movies only focus on one theme, which tends to get boring so this had a lot more than just one issue going on. It has a variety of emotions in it as well. I suggest everyone goes and sees this movie, especially if u like movies such as Ransom and Don`t Say a Word. I cried so hard because this was one of the nicest movies I have ever seen!!!!!!

John Q. was a pretty good but there was just something that didn`t give it the extra star. It was really sad but had a cool ending. It was halarious when that funny dude pretended to be John Q. so he could be with his son.

Not bad "Not a movie The Boys would like" Chick Flick.

This was nothing like The Negotiator. Now that was a good movie

User review rating: 0 March 20, 2002

Very touching storyline and great acting. Too bad they chickened out and went for the Hollywood ending. Real life isn`t "happy ever after". They should have ended it with John shooting himself before getting word of the available heart, then the doctor having two available hearts, one of which would be wasted. That would be more realistic. Too neat.

good acting. but some things were not too realistic. had potential to be a really great movie but it somehow went downhill

User review rating: 0 March 15, 2002

the father was so sweet, it made me cry it was a very touching... good acting, good storyline go see it cuz it`s worth it

User review rating: 0 March 15, 2002

I thought it was a very touching movie that really got the people to think.Denzel was an excellent actor,and so were the rest.What really got my attention was that how John Q was was so determined to save his so life.Now in the real world how much dads would give up there for there son to live,very few.I think there should be a John Q 2. The reason I say that is because at the ending when he went to jail for taking over hostages it left the audience more into the movie wanting to know what happened to him while he was in jail or did he brake out of jail and ran away with his family somewhere far away.If you guys do make a John Q 2,I will be

User review rating: 0 March 14, 2002

It remided me of The Negotiator with Kevin Spacey and Sammuel Jackson. It was a great movie and I would do the same thing for my child anyday.

User review rating: 0 March 14, 2002

I loved John Q, I thought it was an excellent movie, it really shows the love that the father has for his son, and how he is willing to sacrifice everything, and his own life for him. And it`s nice, you always see the mothers, attachment, but never a fathers. I absolutely loved it! A must see movie!

User review rating: 0 March 13, 2002

Denzel was excellent as always, and James Woods is still my hero. I enjoyed the movie, up to the point they wheel his son down to the Emergency reception...c`mon!

User review rating: 0 March 13, 2002

Sublime! Be wary of any negative comments from the cynics. It is impossible for a film so moving to be anything but brilliant.
