John Q (2002)

Cast: Denzel Washington (John Quincy Archibald), Robert Duvall (Lt. Frank Grimes), James Woods (Dr. Raymond Turner), Daniel E. Smith (Mike Archibald), Kimberly Elise (Denise Archibald)

I remember in interviews that Denzel Washington said he figured this movie would allow people to forgive him for playing such an asshole in Training Day and I agree completely. I think his portrayal of a man desperate to save his son is very touching. Who hasn't founght with insurance companies at some point? And who wouldn't do just about anything to save their own child if they were lying in a hospital bed about to die? John Q definitely takes this concept to the extreme, but I think it's a well done drama about a man who takes a hospital ER hostage so that the doctors will agree to operate on his son.

Grade: B
