First time I watched this I was 17-18 years old in my high school Psychology class when we were going over moral dilemmas. The whole "doing something bad to do something good" point. Now that I'm older, it's scary how the healthcare part of the story is still relevant after all this time.
When I was younger I looked at the moral dilemma as ultimately he did close to no harm, but I understood he broke the law and was punished. Now my perspective is, multiple companies/institutions commit fraud, malpractice, negligence, manslaughter, and conspiracy in this movie, if they were people they would be in jail. Why aren’t they even serving a single repercussion? Hell if you need someone to charge look at the Admin lead who refuses to put Mikes name on the donor list because it would result in the hospital needing to treat him. She changes her mind after a heart string tug, think of the countless who died because they deemed it not worth it to put their name the donor list, in fear of eating a surgery cost. A doctor basically says you would have to have been blind not to see Mikes condition developing but neither the hospital, insurance agency, nor his previous doctors were reprimanded. Hell the only one who got shit canned was the nurse who decided to say fuck it here’s what happened. John took people hostage, made threats, but ultimately only hit someone in self defense. Paid outta pocket for their food and tried his best to humanize the situation and let them know he intended no harm to anyone just wanted help for his son. They still charged the mother fucker for the heart, he has paid more than enough by the time Mike is done in the OR. I’d rather have watched a round of malpractice lawsuits, leading to insurance fraud lawsuits, finally with conspiracy and man slaughter charges for the admin. The part where she sees just how fast Mike gets a heart(same damn day) then pats herself on the back like she did good drives me insane.
He did this right after Training Day. The man’s range is incredible. He should have been nominated for this performance as well. He was in his bag during that era with the back to back killer performances.
I remember going on a first date to see this movie. I tried to hold it in as best I could, but by the end, as I was softly crying, my poor date had freaking lost it! He was full on crying!! LOL
Amazing actor, amazing movie. Denzel is a throwback to Hollywood's golden era. Many actors back then were quite conscious of their image and the types of characters they portrayed on screen.
It's losely based on a true story, where the doctors said to a patients dad his son was braindead and they wanted to take him off life support. But the dad refused and even had a standoff with a swat team. His son woke up and made a full recovery. But what is criminal is, that this movie is so overlooked. Great reaction😃
This happened *after* John Q came out, in 2015. This movie is entirely hypothetical, it just happened to align with something that would later happen irl because irl is genuinely that fucked up.
Great reaction. It's criminal how overlooked this movie was. The scene with John talking to his son was off-script with Denzel adding lib. Another great Denzel movie, also based off a true story is "Antoine Fischer" in which Denzel stars in and also makes his directorial debut.
I loved how much you cried watching this. I’m a Dad and it hits really hard. I hate it every time my kid is hurt or suffers whether it’s physical or emotional. This was a true genuine reaction and I know many were crying right along with you.
when i first saw this movie it broke my heart but its a very good example of everything that's wrong with the healthcare industry. this movie brought to light so many things that are actually worse today
Saw this in the movie theatre when it first came out, alot of people left in tears. Most people don't realize the impact this movie had. It sparked one the fiercest debate about our healthcare system. There were literally healthcare professionals outside of movie theatres handing out flyers to contact your congressman/women to do something about it. It was a main theme that former president Barack Obama took on when he became president and created the Affordable Healthcare Act a.k.a Obamacare.
I forgot about this one. So emotional! That "I'm not going to bury my son!. My son is going to bury me." line gets me every time. I still recommend adding "The Manchurian Candidate" to your Denzel movie list for another perspective on his range as an actor. It was a little difficult seeing Anne Heche in this movie especially with the big car accident scene and the life and death discussions with the family.
I watched this with my mom as a kid and I rewatched it this year and I realized I listened to his speech he gave his son and I've actually lived by those because that's some of the best advice I'd ever heard
I can never get over how good Denzel is, between him and Tom hanks idk who makes me cry more in their films but damn this has to be one of my fav Denzel films
You're really doing it with these Denzel Washington movies... And I am all here for it! I would recommend to you: Out of Time (2003) starring Denzel and Eva Mendes. It's more light hearted but the story as soon as it evolves off keeps you on the edge of your seat! It's not as hyped up as Man on Fire or the other Tony Scott directed movies which you'll get recommendations for sure by other people here but that doesn't mean it's any less good!
Oh, hell yeah!! Love this movie. More people need to react to it. I remember being in the movie theater when he turned the walkie talkie off, the whole theater gasped.
I saw this movie in the theatre with a couple of my homeboys, I remember 80% (at minimum) of that theatre crying through out the entire movie. All you heard was sniffling all over the theatre. I've never seen a movie where there was that much crying throughout pretty much the duration of the movie. I heard numerous people flat out balling crying. Even my boys were sniffling a few times. Shit I definitely was. That part towards the end before the surgery where Denzel is giving his Son the guidelines to follow in life gets me every time. Shit, I teary eyed watching this reaction. RIP Dad
Probably my favorite Denzel movie. Definitely top 3 for sure. I wish more people would react to this movie. That scene when Denzel has the gun to his head and is wife runs to the door “John it’s a miracle, it’s miracle” that music and tone playing in the background….WOW goosebumps 💯
Although i used to watch this movie alot as a kid, it really hits different now. Im really sitting here bawling my eyes out 😢 i have an 11 yo son and i can't even imagine something like this happening to him 🥺💔
This is definitely my favorite dental movie. Surprisingly, it made me cry the second time. I watched it, not the first. I hope more people watch and appreciate this film
This movie is a shining example of why we need universal healthcare in this country. Insurance companies’s head offices reside somewhere near the 3rd circle of Hell. I really liked your reaction and commentary to this film. RIP to the quirky Ann Heche. I always loved her.
You can never go wrong with Denzel. He's been one of the best actors for yrs, Ironically, a lot of his early films are slept on, which I'd crazy to me. RIP ANNE HECHE. RIP RAY LIOTTA
my dad died when i was 18 years old and even when he was alive this movie makes me cry all the time, now that he passed it hits me even harder. one of my favorite movies.
Watched this with my mom when I was younger, she missed the point (started saying she needs a man like that & etc) but it taught me a lot and it kinda made me imprint on Denzel since then. Good film. Good acting. Good man.
I wish I could sit through this reaction, but I whole heartedly can't. My nephew passed last year and I watched a lot of the options brought to the family the same way they were brought to ours. Thank you for your reaction regardless💜
Such an amazing film. Denzel Washington did such a wonderful job in this film, but I also need to mention the director of the film, Nick Cassavetes, who I grew up watching as an actor in the early 80's. He followed in his father's footsteps, actor-director John Cassavetes, who was in the classic films Rosemary's Baby and The Dirty Dozen. His mother is actress Gena Rowlands. And the for Sasha at the end of the movie was for the daughter of Nick Cassavetes, who had heart problems very similar to the son in the movie.
I’m glad she finally reacted to this movie. John Q is one of those movies I feel is under appreciated. Something I’ve noticed at the beginning, the woman who crashed, in the beginning it looks like she’s looking up at the truck that’s about to hit her, but later on after John says that he’s waiting on an act of God, the camera cuts to the woman and it’s as if God is telling her that it’s time for her to die so that others may live; it just so happens that she’s an organ donor. Another thing, the hospital is called Hope Memorial, which I think is foreshadowing the main theme of the movie. I also like the compilation of scenes where the hostage crisis triggers conversations about health care in America.
Really memorable and stand out movie. I've always really liked this movie. There's not too many reactions to it on UA-cam so thank you for making one. ❤
Thanks for reacting to this highly recommended movie (based on comments in your previous Denzel movie reactions). Hands down an excellent performance by the cast with a compelling story driving it.
This movie makes me proud to be a Canadian, free health care and something like this wouldn't happen. Denzel was fantastic in this movie, just like he is in everything he does
On another note, That security guard played by Ethan Suplee was also on Boy meets World, American History X, Remember the Titans and others. He lost a lot of weight and is pretty jacked now.
Yes, very emotional roller-coaster of a movie. My favorite line of the movie is when John says...sick, help. sick help. I'm not going to bury my son. My son is going to bury me.
Your only the second person I saw react to this sleeper of a movie. I always cry when a movie involves children or animals. But thank you very much for reacting to this film
This show was a great movie really makes you think what would you do in that situation. Also how crooked the insurance companies are it’s sad that this probably happens more often than we think
@nsasupporter7557 these were when there was still a handful of human beings in leadership and executive roles in Hollywood that cared about the art of story telling. Better times
I’m not a big movie crier, but this is one that gets me every time. Particularly his father-son talk before he’s about to 😵 himself to save him; and the end when his son thanks him and flexes in the street 😢
I remember this movie almost making my dad cry. My mother told me that The only time my father cried was before seeing me go to the operation table when I was around 10 or 11. I guess Denzel Washington performance and this movie overall resonated with him.
I remember the DVD having an alternate ending where the transplant didn't work. The doctor tapped it, it started to beat, then became irregular and began to fail and they actually lost the child. Heartwrenching!!!!!

John took people hostage, made threats, but ultimately only hit someone in self defense. Paid outta pocket for their food and tried his best to humanize the situation and let them know he intended no harm to anyone just wanted help for his son. They still charged the mother fucker for the heart, he has paid more than enough by the time Mike is done in the OR.

Good ol American Healthcare! Greatest on Earth! Crazy how 20 years later, this is still the way.
This is why I'm proud to be a Canadian 🇨🇦.
No HMO's and our doctors actually adhere to the Hippocratic Oath.
He should have won an Oscar for this. At least should have been nominated
Instead they give him an Oscar for playing a dirty cop. Go figure.
I remember going on a first date to see this movie. I tried to hold it in as best I could, but by the end, as I was softly crying, my poor date had freaking lost it! He was full on crying!! LOL
As a father, I understand his pain and actions. This and Samuel L Jackson in A Time To Kill
Oh god that movie hurts so goddamn much
You know there was also the movie "The Negotiator" with Samuel L Jackson too.
I agree but remember this was a Tuesday story. Time to kill was fiction although it could also happen
Amazing actor, amazing movie. Denzel is a throwback to Hollywood's golden era. Many actors back then were quite conscious of their image and the types of characters they portrayed on screen.

Shout out to u I jus heard this on Mr.ballen

I don't understand why more reactors don't do John Q. " No...I don't accept that!"....Its one of Denzel's best
the thank you at the end from his son always makes my eyes water up
No one talks about Kimberly Elise's performance in this movie. She is a star-studded actress!
Amazing
Who is no one girl we been knew about this movie back when it came out yall youngins just now catching on
You need to do something John... she let out that grown woman wife mother all at once. Literally sets it off
@@thelegendsrtru seriously! Acting was on point!
@sarahb6163 Obviously, he is talking about the people in the comments, who are just now seeing it.
Probably the only movie I've seen that made my dad cry
Something about Eddie Griffin's character shouting out "your my hero" outside the court, always get to me
Yeah but I didn’t like the way he said that he’ll have to accept that his son will die… Eddie Griffen’s character has obviously never had kids 😒
This movie hurts. It's so hard to watch good people fight like hell to save their loved one.
Being a father myself, I would gladly give my life for his life!!! I can truly empathise!!!
I'm surprised that more people haven't reacted to this. Another one of my favorite Denzel roles.
Great reaction. It's criminal how overlooked this movie was. The scene with John talking to his son was off-script with Denzel adding lib. Another great Denzel movie, also based off a true story is "Antoine Fischer" in which Denzel stars in and also makes his directorial debut.
By design, I'm sure.
It wasn’t all that overlooked when it first came out, but yes it’s a really forgotten movie now
He should've won the Oscar for the performance. Still mad he didn't, was one of his best performances.

This movie is an incredible reflection of how our healthcare system really works. Its a business, and our lives are the real currency.
It’s not just the health care system, it’s the whole world
I watched this with my mom as a kid and I rewatched it this year and I realized I listened to his speech he gave his son and I've actually lived by those because that's some of the best advice I'd ever heard
Wow! Finally saw a reaction to John Q! Probably you're the first who ever did it. I cried buckets of tears with you. Thank you!
3:00
This poor girl really had no clue what she was getting into. LMFAO 🤣
R.I.P. Ray Liotta and Anne Heche.
Yes, RIP to both of them
The “I’m thirsty” line really hits me in that he’s keenly aware he thinks it’s the last thing he’s gonna feel at the time.
I can never get over how good Denzel is, between him and Tom hanks idk who makes me cry more in their films but damn this has to be one of my fav Denzel films

This by far one of my favourite Denzel movies I'm glad you finally watched it definitely made my day😊
I’ve been waiting forever for someone to finally react to this movie.
Finally someone who actually does a reaction there is only 1 other. Absolutely love this film this and man on fire
This has Pursuit of Happyness vibes, which is another good movie about struggling for basic human rights if you haven't seen it.
Yeah, I forgot about this movie.
This movie hits hard. It really highlights how the medical industry & insurance treats ppl that have no money.
This is one of my fav Denzel movies. Thank you for taking the time to watch this amazing movie!
Thanks for reacting to this highly recommended movie (based on comments in your previous Denzel movie reactions). Hands down an excellent performance by the cast with a compelling story driving it.
That guy nurse's performance is amazing, he has to be a real nurse❤
Such an underrated movie. Amazing performance by Denzel. 😢😊
Thanks. I've been waiting for someone on UA-cam to react to this.
This movie is a masterpiece one of Denzel Washington's best performances❤ The length of a father will do for his family❤
I called this my favorite movie for years back in the day.
This movie is criminally underrated.
This movie makes me proud to be a Canadian, free health care and something like this wouldn't happen.

Denzels best performance. You can't mention Denzel Washington and NOT know this film.
An underrated movie. Denzel is amazing in this. The writing...amazing. So much 'heart' is in this movie.
This & crimson tide are 2 of his best that people rarely talk about.
On another note, That security guard played by Ethan Suplee was also on Boy meets World, American History X, Remember the Titans and others. He lost a lot of weight and is pretty jacked now.
I got dust in my eyes immediately watching this with you
Yes, very emotional roller-coaster of a movie. My favorite line of the movie is when John says...sick, help. sick help. I'm not going to bury my son. My son is going to bury me.
It's still powerful while trying to fight like hell no matter what
Your only the second person I saw react to this sleeper of a movie. I always cry when a movie involves children or animals. But thank you very much for reacting to this film
Just saying, this movie is a perfect reason as to why healthcare is a human right and should not be an industry to profit off of.
Having been in this situation with a family member this movie always makes me cry, it's really sad our medical system is this broken.
This movie was referenced many times on the Floor of the House of Representatives in the debate for the bill of The Affordable Care Act.
Finally someone reacts to this classic
This show was a great movie really makes you think what would you do in that situation. Also how crooked the insurance companies are it’s sad that this probably happens more often than we think
This movie is so fucking slept on, training day and american gangster are two of the greatest movies of all time but this one has way more emotion
Didn’t see American Gangster, but this one and Training Day were when he did good films
@nsasupporter7557 these were when there was still a handful of human beings in leadership and executive roles in Hollywood that cared about the art of story telling. Better times
@@DeShawnMcDonald did you see Antwone Fisher?
Oh my goodness. Lady is watching the ultimate Father's Day movie. One of my top 10 favorite Denzel movies.

I’m not a big movie crier, but this is one that gets me every time. Particularly his father-son talk before he’s about to 😵 himself to save him; and the end when his son thanks him and flexes in the street 😢
Best example of how far a father is willing to go for his child (be it boy or girl)
John! Take care, mang. You my hero.
RIP Ray Liotta & Anne Heche. What a great movie!
I remember this movie almost making my dad cry.
My mother told me that The only time my father cried was before seeing me go to the operation table when I was around 10 or 11.
I guess Denzel Washington performance and this movie overall resonated with him.
i was raised around a bunch of tough guys and i was expected to be that. this movie broke when i was younger, still does.
I remember the DVD having an alternate ending where the transplant didn't work. The doctor tapped it, it started to beat, then became irregular and began to fail and they actually lost the child. Heartwrenching!!!!!
Aww happy you saw this sis. I cry every-time watching this film. Happy to share the journey with you!
