	John Q - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Q is a 2002 movie starring Denzel Washington as John Quincy Archibald, a father and husband whose son is diagnosed with an enlarged heart and then finds out he cannot receive a transplant because insurance won't cover it.
		John is a factory worker in a mining town in Illinois.
		John's gunshot wound is treated by the emergency room staff, and using the bound SWAT policeman as a human shield, steps outside to the sight of dozens of policemen pointing weapons at him, as well as a large crowd gathered to support his cause.

	"John Q." - Salon
		John Q.'s health insurance won't cover it, and the hospital administrator he and his wife, Denise (Kimberly Elise), are forced to deal with (Anne Heche) refuses to put Michael on the transplant-candidate list until the family can fork over a massive deposit.
		John Q. and Denise scramble to find the money, filling out reams of paperwork and hotfooting it over to various agencies (where they stand in endless lines as their son lies in the hospital fighting for his life).
		I'm just a factory worker." Shortly after John Q. takes over the emergency room, he answers a ringing telephone and when the frantic, tearful caller asks him for directions to the hospital (she has to rush her son there), he tells her the hospital is closed for repairs.

		John Q. and his wife Denise (Kimberly Elise) race the kid to an emergency room, where his signs are stabilized and then a cardiologist (James Woods) explains that young Mike's heart is three times normal size.
		John Q. thinks he's covered by insurance, but no: His company switched to a new HMO that has a $20,000 ceiling, and since John has been downsized to 20 hours a week, he's lucky to have that much coverage.
		John Q. is in the act of having an emotional and heart-breaking telephone conversation with his little boy when Monroe, who is (a) unaware of the TV feed, or (b) too dumb to live, orders the marksman to fire.

	JOHN Q Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		John and his wife rush him to the emergency room where they are told that Mike's heart is too large, and that a new heart will have to take its place.
		John doesn't have that kind of money, and when he tries to take it out of his workman's insurance, he is told that the company switched carriers and that $20,000 is the best they can give him.
		John's request is met by the coming of the police; in particular a hostage negotiator named Frank Grimes (Robert Duvall) and Police chief Monroe (Ray Liotta), who faces reelection in the coming year and therefore would like John taken out as efficiently as possible.

	The Popkorn Junkie :: John Q
		John is like that friendly guy in your neighborhood who never forgets to say hello and greet you with a smile as you pass by.
		John and his wife don't have the money--or sufficient insurance--to put their son on the top of the donor's list for a heart transplant.
		John did everything he could to try to raise money for his son's operation, but he fell a little bit short.

	Audio Revolution.com review of John Q
		John Quincy Archibald (Denzel Washington) is a working man with a loving wife (Kimberly Elise), a great little boy, Michael, and lousy luck.
		John’s demand is not that Michael receive a transplant, but rather that the boy be placed on the list.
		One conundrum in “John Q” is that it is extremely literal-minded about everything to do with the atrocious way in which other-than-wealthy people are often treated when it comes to health care in the U.S., while suspending disbelief to the snapping point on other fronts.

		John Q. Archibald (Denzel Washington, Training Day, Remember the Titans) and his wife Denise (Kimberly Elise, Bait, Beloved) are typical, lower middle class Americans getting lost slowly in the system.
		John learns that his employer switched providers, from an HMO to a PPO, and that coverage does not extend to the heart transplant operation that Mike needs.
		As for John's hostages, they consist of the necessary random mix of people, none of which are interesting.

	SPLICEDwire \| "John Q" review (2002) Nick Cassavetes, Denzel Washington
		Afterwards he introduces us to John Q. Archibald (Washington), a struggling blue collar guy and stand-up father whose factory job has been cut down to 20 hours a week, thus disqualifying him from full insurance coverage.
		Meanwhile, in the hospital's ICU, John's wife and son, and all the doctors and nurses, are somehow unaware that hostages have been taken in another part of the building until a sympathetic police negotiator (Robert Duvall) comes to ask the wife to talk John down.
		If the rest of "John Q" was half as sincere and self-possessed as this brief moment, it might have been a brilliant and moving film.

	John Q (2002)
		Denzel Washington stars as John Q. Archibald, a father whose young son Mike (wonderfully played by Daniel E. Smith) is in sudden need of a heart transplant, or else he will die within a few days.
		The problem is that John's employer has recently switched to an HMO and, due to his lack of hours at the plant, John is only eligible for a certain amount of coverage, which will not pay for his son's transplant.
		And on a social level, John Q succeeds in making a powerful comment on a subject that demands a lot more attention than it has been given.

	John Q (2002): Denzel Washington, Kimberly Elise, James Woods, Ray Liotta - PopMatters Film Review
		Unfortunately, John Q doesn't presume that you see this obvious answer, and goes on to instruct you as to the evil of this system, with several dialogue explications and Arnoldish cracks ("The hospital's under new management now!") sprinkled amidst its one-note, ongoing crisis of a plot.
		As John looks on in horror, Payne and Turner announce that a heart transplant is Mikey's only chance to live, but that he and Denise have no insurance and so, should just settle for a few more "quality of life" weeks with their boy.
		And still, after all this excess and strangeness, John Q absolutely outdoes itself in the closing moments, when, under the guise of promoting its populist hero, it comes up with what has to be the creepiest movie moment in recent memory.

		The story involves Denzel Washington as John Q. Archibald, the father of a young boy, Mike, who collapses on the baseball field in a little league game.
		Duvall's detective role is flat and you learn nothing by the end of the film about him or just the mere ability to be glad at the end of the film to root for him and his accomplishments throughout.
		John Q, is a prime example of how important it is to have some character development for your supporting roles and that no matter who gets the title role, the actor or actress will have a hard time in making it work.

		John doesn’t have that kind of money, so as his son’s blood pressure continues to sink as he lay in a hospital bed, John is a man that knows that desperate times call for desperate measures.
