  • good thing i live in Quebec

  • OPEN UP YOUR EYES AMERICA! YOU NEED JESUS AND YOU NEED AMERICA TO BE REPUBLIC!

  • Greed and corruption is all we seem to have in power these days. Health systems only work for the rich and the big drug companies suppress doctors who find cures for diseases like cancer, just so they can keep us sick with their filthy drugs. It's pure evil, and I know this was only a movie, but it highlights just one facet of the depravity that has taken control of our world. Oh...and the movie was great too :)

  • Comment removed

  • i like the movie except his wife telling him to do something. That part is crap why dont she do something bascially she was putting it all on him.

  • @1982dcook i understand your point! but i also think that the woman is desparate. its her child and a woman will do or even in the case say anything to save her child. i am glad she did push him harder! it all worked out for the good

  • What.a.film....

  • I am in love with this film. There's only one movie i've seen similar to this (minus the health care situation) and that's Best Men. Fighting for what's right, and making friends with the hostages n things like that.

    Does anyone know of another?

  • The little kid playing his son looks like a little Ne-Yo

  • In Spain the trasplant operation, and the post operational treatmen would be payed by the goverment, and since we have the highest rate of organ donor in the world that child would be ok enjoying hi life with it's father.

    No hostages, no prison. Your health care sistem sucs.

  • amazinnggg. SO inspirational

  • it was terrible how he had to go to prison just to save his son's life..... just terrible.

  • im watching this right now lol(i havnt seen this in years)

  • omg a bollywood copied this same thing and the acting is nothing compared to this

  • It gets me mad how the government takes care of other countries with health and resources but not us.

    I belive before we can help others the united states should provide help to its people.

  • i bet obama watched this movie the dat he became president and said.. we need a health care reform.

  • i balled like a babyyyyyyyyyyy

  • Denzel cries so much in this I'm surprised he didn't get washed away downstream.

  • i saw this movie like 2 hours ago. It was really good and touching. Especially the end :).

  • I'm a guy and I almost cried... This movie touch me so badly. It need a second one!

    *BEST MOVIE EVER*

  • @xXSerbianrulzzXx i almost cried too and im a guy too

  • @odstftw ahhah lol, but seriously this movie is amazing..

  • I've watched the movie and it's really touching, please try and watch it if you haven't. America is still a great country, as for now!

  • Americans... That is all

  • i just saw it today, it touched me :3 it is sad that hospitals care more about money and care less about other people. I just jad to come back and watch the trailer to see other peoples comments

  • One of the best movie

  • come in romania where to be treated in a hospital near the cockroaches, rats and other creatures .... romania the land of shit ... i am very sad to live in this shit of country

  • @T30D0RUS Is it hard to get a worker's visa to here?

  • @T30D0RUS People say America is shit, going bankrupt.. but when i hear your suitation .. it makes me feel happy and contend that we are lucky to have at least a functioning hospital. No offense though.

  • Never seen it

  • This movie made me cry everytime i saw it. Which is already 4 times.

  • im so thankfull that i live in the Netherlands.

  • This movie really got to me.. Denzel's acting in this movie in unbelievable!

    Im from holland myself, and i think america really need to do something about there health system

  • The Canadian health system is screwed up to.

    If your young you get coverage. If you are old, they tell you to go home and die.

    If an old person has a serious problem, they will do nothing for you.

    That is what happened to my Father. Paid his taxes all his life. But when he

    needed help when he got old. Nothing. So all those in Canada once you hit 65,

    the health system writes you off.

  • this movie made me weep like a baby. and even right after watching it, i couldn't get over it. and this is happening in real life in America. It's what burdens me.

  • This film made me cry. It makes you question humanity.

  • @derhow how so? fill me in pls

  • watch it loved it :D

  • I finally saw the film and I enjoyed it, it surprised me, I wonder why it got bad reviews, Washington's performance was phenomenal, I mean he is brilliant in this film.

  • I'm downloading this film just to see why everyone loves it, lol.

  • Comment removed

  • I think with Obama's Reform we can't have this problem anymore. Am I right?

  • Wow and look at all the movie stars with their millions of dollars, those people are the only once that can make it there but everyone else is fucked. Those celebs should donate a million or 2 to the hospitals.

    Thank god i live in Canada, She`s got my back!

  • Denzel Washington was the only thing interesting about this trash.

  • I hate that his wife mounted an unhealthy amount of pressure on him, as if he was not committed enough to seeing his son live.

  • Good movie. I just can't stand his wife though!

  • jonny q es una pelicula muy padre, esta pelicula es para poner a reflexionar a la gente en especial a los que estan en el area biomedica, porque les recuerda el juramento que hacen al ejerser su carera, porque no se trata con maquinas que pueden ser remplasadas son personas que tienen solamente 1 vida y que tienden derecho a vivivr y si existe la forma de salvarles la vida hay que hacerlo, disculpen mi falta de ortografia esta pelicula me conmovio mucho la avavo de ver en españo en SPACE

  • This was a fantastic movie that really opened my eyes to the horrors of health care in america and the lengths that some will go to defy the system. I do admire John Q and his great courage and determination to never give up. However, if everyone who could not afford health care merely took the same course of action as John Q, this country would enter extreme turmoil.

  • ya..we need canadaian gov to take control of the U.S.for couple of years and stop the wars =)

  • the real villain....mrs.'s Q. she pushed him over the edge.

  • this movie is a good exaple of how screwed up health insurance is theese days i would have done the same thing go jon!

  • Second only to book of eli.

  • this movie inspired every living father on earth

  • yes it did. Well said.

  • i love canada

  • @cheerish3189 and this movie

  • This movie represents the millions of americans who has been through similar circumstances due to a broken and corrupt health insurance system.

  • Wow. Powerful stuff :')

  • i love this movie. its sooo touching. doesn't that mom look like michelle obama?? i think it looks like her

  • I said you should just watch it, Mattrobus. Republicans need more empathy in their heart.

  • I cant believe somebody sent me this on twitter when I asked what Obama has done for everybody that voted for him and they said hes been trying hard for healthcare reform

  • love this film so much.. shows how parents will do anything for the love of their children..

  • the best actor , denzel

  • God bless Denzel !!!!!

  • i have nothing against america but you health system is the uglyest in the whole wide world............

  • lol we know, but we trying to fix it.

  • how about china? how about north korean? and I am a chinese.

  • @masumzg hey man ur right what money we have we spend dearly. all on the fucking war and other stupid shit

  • @masumzg you never been in brazil before have you?

  • @masumzg We're not called greedy americans for nothing,son.

  • @masumzg I have a message for the american health system: "Greed is one of the cardinal sins.... So they say".

  • @masumzg naw u can go head a say it...america sucks :/ .....good movie though

  • @dirtyplaya from the health care point of view, yea it sux

  • @masumzg better than africas?

  • @XMOr33skyline at least africans have something to fear, like malaria , ebola and all the other stuff, and the red cross helps them, not like in america where the insurance companies takes all your money and dont do shit.

  • chech SICKO from movie maker michael moore! shocking about health system in the usa

  • FANTASTIC MOVIE-

  • EXCELLENT movie..!!!! onE of the best movie i've ever seen.. also a movie TAKEN its also brilliant movie! check it out!!!

  • brilliant movie !

  • If people would say yes to the healthcare plan. That means these types of things wouldn't happen, because that way we would all have health insurance so people would get the help they need. Its like car insurance. Everybody needs it.

  • if america would spend the money what they used for wars for hospitals and better health care then there would be on both sides more people alive. i hate this world.

    Money is the emperor and we are the slaves

  • US healthcare is terrible, that's why Obama is trying so hard to get it legit system... but that will never happen

  • Hehe here in the Philippines 70% of the population doesn't have healthcare.

  • IS USA healthcare really that  bad?

  • i saw this movie last night, om my TV. 2 THUMBS UP

  • BEST MOVIE EVER~

  • the woman in the film looks very similar to michelle obama ^^ what's her name actually ?

  • Kimberly Elise

  • kimberly elise she was also in set it off

  • This is one of the greatest and most emotional movies!!!Just love it,greetings from Serbia!!!

  • we're watching this movie in my ethics class! i get close to tears every day. michael is such a loveable kid!

  • great movie... make me cry... on of washington´s best movies...

  • Awsome movie

  • god this movie always makes me cry :')

    I love to see more then 1 time !!!

    its sucha great movie =]

  • I'm studying psychology and our class watched this movie. We were questioned about ethical and moral problems in the movie. This might not be the right thing to do if we think in the terms of what's moral right or wrong, but if it was my kid, I'd definitly do the same.

    The health system in the US seems kinda harsh :/

  • Such a sad but good movie. I like how he said, "I am not gonna bury my son. My son is gonna bury me." That's how I'd feel if I had children of my own and they were going through something like that...

  • damn, i had to watched the spanish (from spain) translation! it really sucks, but the movie is great!

  • that is the justice of the american health system!do u have the money?u r lucky!you dont?its a pity!

  • I was watching this movie in my freshman year of high school and then I was kicked out the classroom by the substitute.

  • Awesome

  • I saw this film and loved it but the fact that it could even be done is insane. This would not happen in the UK, his child would get a heart, usually the only people who don't get organs are recurrent alcoholics that have had several livers. Like TwentyLaws said Go Obama Go!

  • usa needs good health care badly, but this extreme right are not going to stop so u guys have to unite and defeat this extremenist

  • Learn how to spell before you post anymore comments up.

  • it is a brilliant movie. i love the film and i love denzel.

  • The producers of this movie should be proud they had an impact on Health Care Reform!  Go Obama Go!

  • such a powerful movie

  • I saw this movie with my boyfriend who has lost his father... I was crying the whole time....

  • one of a few movies that make my cry!Is in my top 5!

  • This is a good movie!!!!!

  • was this a true story?

  • Yes it was actually. Its a movie so its glorified. But based on a true story.

  • this movie would have been so much more successful if it was released in 2009....BRING IN THE FREE HEALTHCARE!!!!

  • jedan od najpotresnijih filmova koji sam gledao

  • What is the movie about?

  • are you fucking stupid... watch the trailer ( ABOVE ) to find out what this movie is about

  • this trailer doesn't tell us crap. apparently, some dude's son is dying so he goes into a hospital and holds people hostage.

  • Unfortunately the systems EVERYWHERE need hard work, selfelessness, intelligence and money put into them to be effective but only work and money seem to find their way in. That's why there are rich kings and impoverished families, ghetto's and mansions, charities and Bernie Madoff's. You're an idiot to point at just one system and one country.

  • I am not an idiot, to say what i wrote...

    cause its true, the most important system for an supposed industriel and advanced society, you dont have.. free healthcare.. something very basic for an advanced society, you even dont have only means your society is just a fassade.. nothing mor...

    and it has nothing to do what you wrote...

  • Yea you are...and u still r cuz u didn't get it so good job dumbass. U said the system sucked. Well all systems suck because in order for a system to work it needs certain things. Pointing at america alone makes u a moron because there are so many systems everywhere. You're just a whiny ass bitch.

  • there is a nonsense in your words... i think you are lack of arguments thats why you even dont know what you are writing.. of course there are problems in a society (systems) but we were talking about the free health care system, something you even dont have, well even in russia they have it.. why usa not?

    yeah i am a dumbass you know why? cause i am writing to a uneducated IRS lover :-p

  • No WE aren't talking about health care YOU are b/c YOU'RE a moron. Actually you aren't talking about health care so much as you're just complaining about America's. The only point I ever tried to make is u need to stop pointing fingers at 1 problem because you're ignoring the other ones and failing to recognize that the system is imperfect in America but it's far from a failure. My other point is you are a moron. Also I'm still in college so I've had almost no dealings w/ IRS. Nocash til degree.

  • health care is not only 1 problem it is the basic need for a modern society.. common man you even sell weapons on street, you even dont allow really freedom of speech what about your famouse patriot act.. america is a hidden nazi regime.. it doesnt matter if you see it or not, it would be better if you live for some time here in europe (except uk) so you will see what i am talking about...

    we have real freedom!!!!!!! Fuck Usa culture (and i dont mean the people)

  • and america has health care just not a system u approve of. But ur a moron. We sell weapons on streets? This is unique to America? DIdn't ur country have a nuke firesale? We're repressed here but we're not oppressed in anyway. America isn't what it should be but it's damn close and it works well for a ton of people. And it is only 1 problem. It's not 2 problems. It's one. Geez what a moron. Basic or not it's only one problem. Pull the bug outta ur ass. All that "freedom" must make u this angry.

  • im glad i live in Canada, where you can walk into a hospital, get professional, caring treatment, without a massive bill being delivered to your mailbox the next day! :)

  • @rolls283 Australia too! Health Care is a right, not a privilege.

  • @rolls283 and @masumzg if ur health care is so good why do ppl come to america from everywhere even Canada just for health care because its the best and rolls283 ur one of the dump ppl in canada u dont get a bill ur insurance takes care of most of it my father had a heart attack when to the hospital and was taken care or right away and stayed for 5 days it cost 67,000 dollars and we only paid 1,000. so yea have ur second-rate treatment while i have the best in the world! :)

  • @XMeRxAnaRchYX what if they dont have that 1,000. then what. your only saying its good because of your personal experience. how bout you think about the whole big picture. maybie if you said the the Uk for example had good health care .i might believe you since they got free health care with the NHS

  • @gogosma the world is not so nice i dont like being an ass but thats the way it is. i dont have to care about others cause ppl only care about themselves its a me first world. now dont jump down my throat i know there are some ppl who care but theres to little of them so.......yeah

  • @XMeRxAnaRchYX liar

  • saddest movie  i have ever seen

  • No parent should ever bury their child

  • I love this movie, its soo good. Denzel is fantasic at acting, and this movie is very sad though but good anyway.

  • it is a good movie but that trailer is not a very good one

  • I've not seen the movie yet, but I'm 110% sure it's awesome , coz Denzel W. never let me down, he is a great actor, all the movies with him are awesome! the john q is now comeing to my computer and I can't wait to see it !

  • He is the best actor of our generation. You need to watch it, it is powerful as well beautiful and rich in context. A good one too is The True story of Ben Carson

  • i just saw the movie. its good but it freaked me out! omg

  • This movie is great. 5/5 directly. First time i saw it i couldn't stop watching.

  • oswome movie

    must see

  • John Q for president.

    lol

  • "and i almost lost it at the ending of john q"

    ~tech n9ne

  • i love this movie

  • this movie was a straight Oscar. But the fucking Americans only gave him the prize when he was crooked.

  • You called me ' your and idiot'

    I guess that sums up who is the idiot. lool.

  • GM--good movie 5 star

  • That movie taught me what health care really is in America. This country's health care should be free. You know?

  • It should. My voice and with others we can turn that around :)

  • I just watched this movie today, and I have to say I was afraid when it started to would be unrealistic, but this is one of the most realistic films I've ever seen. Denzel Washington better have gotten an award or something for this movie.

  • Kaiser Permanente has his dick up my ass.

  • whit this movi they show us that theres a price for life, and life is priceless

  • whit this movi they show us that theres a price for life, and life is priceless

  • hello i fron of venezuelan pelucula this seems good for all doctors in the world, with real authority, high society and governments q learn not everyone is a millionaire pro .... if everyone tine life ... . Happy New Year 2009

  • hola yo soy de venezuela esta pelucula me parece buena para todos los doctores del mundo,la ente con real,de alta sociedad y los gobiernos aprendan q no todo el mundo es millonario....pro si todo el mundo tine vida....feliz año 2009

  • i've watched this movie a couple days ago, the movie is grat

  • Thats the thing i hate about america, here in glasgow no health insurance or anything like that costs man its paid by the goverment which i think is better , if you think about it you may be rich now but u could be broke soon, and lets just say youve got the flu or sumit, Y WOULD U NEED 2 PAY.

  • anees ma man ur rite!i mean how sick is it that sum1s dying and they dont give a fuk if ur not insured??? sumbody has 2 change this!as u said that u dont need health insurance in glasgow 100% rite & agreed! should b like this every whre!or atleast save sumbody 1st then u can think insurance if ur such a greedy fuk!!!respect

  • I agree. You don't pay to see a doctor in Australia, the government pays for it. You pay hospital fees if you need to go to hospital, but you do not require any kind of health insurance to go to the hospital. And people only buy health insurance or whatever here when they want a guaranteed private room if they ever need to go to the hospital. I don't understand why it's not free in America, they have so many people paying so many taxes, I don't see why they should have to pay to see a doctor.

  • Wow the trailer is so awesome... i wish i had scene it on TV so id watch this movie in theatres... i just watched it and it was AWESOME!!! it's rated 9.7/10 in watch-movies

  • i love this movie!

    denzel washington is an amasing actor

  • Movie is great... what is the music when he is coming out of the hospital in the movie though???

  • makes me cry

  • i saw it i dont wanna give anything away but in the end john is in a worse position than his son

  • not really cuz he jus goes to da pen for like 2 3 years, while his son is still alive

  • Denzel is the best.

  • omg...we saw dis in my health science tech class...life is so unfair...i cried b/c i knoe wut hes going through

  • how did you guys watch this in health science class. although i can say i love the movie a lot and haven't watched it in a while it seems kinda dumb to watch in class if it has no learning purpose

  • we were talkin about legal problems in healthcare and about insurance and stuff like that..

  • i loved this movie it made me cry

  • That is a crazy, weird, confusing movie.
