John Q Reviews

Such a real and intense movie. Like it’s so believable I thought it could be based off a true story, which is sad. It can’t be stated enough just how good Denzel is as an actor. Wasn’t just him, the whole family had good performances. Some of the hostages had some cringe dialogue

One of the most sincere films showing how difficult it is when your child may have a serious illness and life is slipping away from under your feet, but you are the one to overcome it.

8.5/10, awesome acting by Denzel. He carried the movie. It’s a great watch.

Underrated movie that I highly recommend watching. In today’s political climate, it feels very much real in world where we struggle to live free of debt. Washington’s performance is amazing, and I love the subtle character perspectives we see. Definitely love it

This is genuinely the saddest film I have ever seen. So many thoughts and emotions came to me as I watched this film. Denzel made you feel his love and pain for his son!
It will make you ugly cry.

Denzel “The GOAT” Washington delivers another passionate performance in this story of love and sacrifice. The script and score is engaging and every passing moment of the film will keep you more and more engaged. 10/10

So many thoughts and emotions came to me as I watched this film. Anger against the system, sadness for all the families that go through this, helplessness for the mothers and fathers working multiple jobs to try and get through, and envy for the rich who don’t need to worry.

Just wanted to save his son. Happy ending

This was so INTENSE, it makes you feel both hopeful but also somewhat at a loss, in the end it’s all worth it.

8.1/10

I will always love this classic. I would do the same for my kids 10 fold.

Great movie.

A incredible intense, emotional and well acted hostage drama especially from Denzel.

7.9/10

truly, a classic one of the greatest acting performances I’ve ever seen

If it’s an accurate representation of American healthcare it’s a scary thought

Denzel Washington delivers a masterclass in desperation, single-handedly carrying this high-stakes drama. While the script leans into melodrama, his raw, sincere performance makes you feel every bit of a father's agony against a broken system—a heavy but essential watch.

Loved the movie, the meaning behind it the end and the acting all great.

Just wow. And ugh. And oh my god.
