ƒORM is on a distinguished road
John Q

Denzel Washington plays John Q. Archibald, a hard-working family man who loses it when his son collapses at a Little League game. Neither the cardiac surgeon (James Woods) nor the cruel hospital admin (Anne Heche- aka fur trader) will put his child's name on the heart transplant recipient list since John Q's HMO insurance is hardly worth the $250,000 operation cost. John flips and takes matters into his own hands. Later in the flick a couple of good actors Robert Duvall and Ray Liotta (cops) try to bring things to a peaceful closing.

The movie is alright but lacks any real action. It's rated pg-13 for all audiences and everything for the most part comes across clean. It's a story with lots of hardships and a ton of teary scenes. It's worth renting but definitely not a $13.50 Silver City viewing.

There weren't any parts in the movie that made me think "How did they do that? or Lets see that again"

I think the movie was stressing more about the controversy in the unbalance of Medicare in the United States. It's supposed to draw the audience's attention to how severe this current matter is, and how to fight against it.

From my point of view... I thought it was a fantastic story
