by AliventiAsylum  in Movies,  - Top 50, Oct 11 '02
Pros: excellent performances, story raises awareness of problems in health care
Cons: pivotal plot points exaggerated to enhance story, hostage drama storyline not compelling
Netflix accidentally sent me the wrong movie the other day. We had to mail it back, but figured what the heck - we'd watch it that night before the mailman arrived the next morning. That movie was John Q. I didn't have it ...

Pros: The lower class takes a stand! Some humorous moments.
Cons: Stereotypes; this one annoying tear!
Whoever got the idea for this movie definitely has a beef with HMO's. They seemed more than eager to make that known to the world! I'm not exactly the world's genius on medical insurance; I'm just glad they were able to tell a good story at the same...

by SurgRN911 - Top 500, Aug 13 '02
Pros: A heart is more than an organ.
Cons: Not realistic in parts, too realistic in others
Movie Review = Surg completely out of her element. Now with that bit of information on the table I will do my best to tell you how my eyes viewed John Q. I wish I could just sit and watch a movie for relaxation, but in most of them, I sit and watch and...

Pros: The acting.
Cons: Everything other than the acting.
I have to admit that before I saw this movie I thought it was going to be terrible. I came into it close minded, and I think this is an example of the impact that had on my overall opinion.
I was looking for a new movie that I hadn’t seen,...

by artbyjude - Top 500, Sep 02 '02
Pros: The cast, the message
Cons: a few connecting plot connections were edited from the movie, and some technical problems
For a movie that gets right to the heart of our country’s health care system’s biggest problems, it is going to be hard to beat this one. If you are wondering what all the hullabaloo is about, because you, as yet, have not had to face an uninsured...

by jay1051971 - Top 1000, Apr 10 '06
Pros: Decent performances by Washington, Woods, Heche and cast.
Cons: Watch out for the Socialist propaganda
Coming off his Oscar winning performance, Denzel Washington takes on a role in a propaganda flick that fails to recognize his past success. Cast: Denzel Washington - John Quincy Archibald Robert Duvall - Lt. Frank Grimes James Woods ...

by phungus in Movies, - Top 100, Jul 28 '02
Pros: Nice cast, although most are underused
Cons: A little too sappy at times
John Q is one of those good movies that could have been better, but it ultimately saves itself from itself with an original, moving story and a few clever twists. In the film, Denzel Washington plays a father who is on the verge of being laid off. His...

by remnjava - Top 500, Aug 01 '02
Pros: A heartwarming story of a father and his son.
Cons: Political agenda.
Do you have health insurance? Do you enjoy good health? If you can answer yes to each question, you are truly blessed. If you answer "no" to each question, you may be headed for problems. I will recap my own family's experience with health care and...

by tkerodd - Top 500, Feb 25 '02
Pros: good story, fine acting, suspenseful
Cons: a little predictable
If you are looking for a quality movie, you can start by looking at who is in the film. There are some actors and actresses that are very discerning in the roles they take, and will only take on projects that meet their own strict personal criteria....

by gmann6900 , Jul 27 '02
Pros: A strong indictment on a human level, of the "American Dream".
Cons: Is predictable at times, with a soap opera feel.
It came and went in the theaters without notice. Mainly because it followed on the heels of Denzel’s Academy Award winning performance in Training Day. But this 10 Kleenex tear-jerker is one not to be missed. Director, Nick Cassavetes does an admirable...

by mtuairau , Feb 24 '02
Pros: Denzel Washington, the issue of healthcare or lack thereof
Cons: Kimberly Elise and occasional weakness in the vigilante efforts
This movie was loaded with the real issue of so many Americans with or without medical insurance and the many concerns of medical costs. Having been in hospital administration myself, it is a real concern to keep on top of things financially while...

Pros: Great movie and great acting!
Cons: Nothing
John Q was released in 2002. I bought this movie after I had seen it. I really like Denzel Washington. He’s my favorite actor and this movie is actually my favorite Denzel Washington movie. The Archibald family John Q (Quincy) ...

by storyland , Nov 29 '03
Pros: I believe it's a good family movie at least in the beginning.
Cons: There's one slight over dramatic scene.
I had given the film four stars for the work on the part of the actors in production and postproduction in the making of the film, “John Q.”. The movie is good enough to have it run separately, perhaps on an earlier movie just on the family ...

by isinga - Top 1000, Jan 07 '03
Pros: Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall
Cons: Heavy-handed political message scripting
I'm torn over this movie. I'd dearly love to rip it to shreds, but it contains so much sincerity and such good acting on the part of its star that I just can't do it. The only alternative I have is to examine the film from every aspect that might help...
