First time I watched this I was 17-18 years old in my high school Psychology class when we were going over moral dilemmas. The whole "doing something bad to do something good" point. Now that I'm older, it's scary how the healthcare part of the story is still relevant after all this time.

[@nikkof5384]

When I was younger I looked at the moral dilemma as ultimately he did close to no harm, but I understood he broke the law and was punished. Now my perspective is, multiple companies/institutions commit fraud, malpractice, negligence, manslaughter, and conspiracy in this movie, if they were people they would be in jail. Why aren’t they even serving a single repercussion? Hell if you need someone to charge look at the Admin lead who refuses to put Mikes name on the donor list because it would result in the hospital needing to treat him. She changes her mind after a heart string tug, think of the countless who died because they deemed it not worth it to put their name the donor list, in fear of eating a surgery cost. A doctor basically says you would have to have been blind not to see Mikes condition developing but neither the hospital, insurance agency, nor his previous doctors were reprimanded. Hell the only one who got shit canned was the nurse who decided to say fuck it here’s what happened. John took people hostage, made threats, but ultimately only hit someone in self defense. Paid outta pocket for their food and tried his best to humanize the situation and let them know he intended no harm to anyone just wanted help for his son. They still charged the mother fucker for the heart, he has paid more than enough by the time Mike is done in the OR. I’d rather have watched a round of malpractice lawsuits, leading to insurance fraud lawsuits, finally with conspiracy and man slaughter charges for the admin. The part where she sees just how fast Mike gets a heart(same damn day) then pats herself on the back like she did good drives me insane.

You're really doing it with these Denzel Washington movies... And I am all here for it! I would recommend to you: Out of Time (2003) starring Denzel and Eva Mendes. It's more light hearted but the story as soon as it evolves off keeps you on the edge of your seat! It's not as hyped up as Man on Fire or the other Tony Scott directed movies which you'll get recommendations for sure by other people here but that doesn't mean it's any less good!

[@mo2k638]

A super underrated Denzel movie it’s never talked about out of time 2003 and the Manchurian candidate 2004

[@jtser8322]

I forgot about this one. So emotional! That "I'm not going to bury my son!. My son is going to bury me." line gets me every time. I still recommend adding "The Manchurian Candidate" to your Denzel movie list for another perspective on his range as an actor. It was a little difficult seeing Anne Heche in this movie especially with the big car accident scene and the life and death discussions with the family.

It sparked one the fiercest debate about our healthcare system. There were literally healthcare professionals outside of movie theatres handing out flyers to contact your congressman/women to do something about it. It was a main theme that former president Barack Obama took on when he became president and created the Affordable Healthcare Act a.k.a Obamacare.

I saw this movie in the theatre with a couple of my homeboys, I remember 80% (at minimum) of that theatre crying through out the entire movie. All you heard was sniffling all over the theatre. I've never seen a movie where there was that much crying throughout pretty much the duration of the movie. I heard numerous people flat out balling crying. Even my boys were sniffling a few times. Shit I definitely was. That part towards the end before the surgery where Denzel is giving his Son the guidelines to follow in life gets me every time. Shit, I teary eyed watching this reaction.

[@Joe-qe1zm]

I’m glad this movie showed the reality of the medical industry but one part that was over looked in the movie was in the beginning when John said all the jobs were being shipped overseas. I lived in the Midwest for over 20 years and I can tell you first hand it’s true because it was cheaper. Every politician talked about bringing back manufacturing here but never really happened.

[@beethovenstrance5042]

This is exactly what Trump did when he became president. I live in Indianapolis, and he promised a lot of factory workers here in Indiana that he will make sure their jobs stay in the country. A Shneider Electrics plant in Peru closed, and moved out of the country, and over 300 people lost their jobs. Peru is a small town and it hit them hard. It was on the local news as well. Over 20 manufacturing companies moved those jobs to foreign countries and over 3,000 people lost their jobs here in Indiana. Many of those people voted for Trump because just like so many they fell for his campaign lines. While Trump was president over 200,000 jobs were shipped overseas. I don't like Biden either but he brought back many of those manufacturing jobs. This is why it's important to support policy and not the politician. Yeah, I understand people feel the the need to vote for a certain candidate, but stay on their asses, and hold politicians accountable when they blatantly lie and break promises.

[@masonspaulding9660]

I’m glad she finally reacted to this movie. John Q is one of those movies I feel is under appreciated. Something I’ve noticed at the beginning, the woman who crashed, in the beginning it looks like she’s looking up at the truck that’s about to hit her, but later on after John says that he’s waiting on an act of God, the camera cuts to the woman and it’s as if God is telling her that it’s time for her to die so that others may live; it just so happens that she’s an organ donor. Another thing, the hospital is called Hope Memorial, which I think is foreshadowing the main theme of the movie. I also like the compilation of scenes where the hostage crisis triggers conversations about health care in America.

Such an amazing film.

He followed in his father's footsteps, actor-director John Cassavetes, who was in the classic films Rosemary's Baby and The Dirty Dozen. His mother is actress Gena Rowlands. And the for Sasha at the end of the movie was for the daughter of Nick Cassavetes, who had heart problems very similar to the son in the movie.
