Denzel Washington headlines in New Line Cinema’s new movie, “John Q.” This movie takes you on an emotional rolla-coaster. It’s a touching movie that will have you wanting to cry, but surprisingly this action drama will have you laughing right along with your tears. The movie opens with a critical car accident that sets the tone for the movie. It instantly grabs your attention and makes you want more. You are then introduced to John Q. Archibald. He is a factory worker who takes care of his wife, and son. It is obvious that he has financial problems, but like many Americans he is doing the best that he can. The movie then takes a sudden turn, his son becomes fatally ill and is in need of an emergency heart transplant. The battle is just beginning for John Q. when the green-eyed monster, our health system, rears it’s ugly head. John Q. then finds that although he has insurance it is not adequate to meet his needs. Through it all, a decision has to be made, time is running out, and he has vowed to do whatever it takes to keep his son alive. “John Q.” promotes the value of family and fighting for your rights, although he takes the road less traveled. This movie shines light on an everyday problem that millions of Americans face, but don’t even realize, while creating a hero and a criminal in one man.This film also presents many comic reliefs. One is Eddie Griffin, who at those moments when the tears are welled up on your eyes, and you are about to create a waterfall, eases those moment with a well-placed bit of comedy. It also examines the trust between the overseeing officer Grimes (played by Robert Duvall) and John Q. “John Q.” will have you passing up that ordering out, and taking a break from the stress college life presents, and instead running for the theaters for the return of a great movie that definitely will be winning awards in the future.
