John Q. movie review by lottie :]



Fighting against the national healthcare system in the US, John and his family struggle to keep their son, Mike, alive. Mike collapsed at a Little League game due to heart failure and is now in need of a heart transplant. Only problem is that John Q. doesn’t have to money to do it, to save his sons life. After trying all options and raising as much money as possible, John turns to his only option – violence.

He breaks into the Hope Memorial and holds many as hostages in order to make the hospital pay for his son to get a new heart. Soon, groups of people crowd around the Hope Memorial but instead of shouting, they cheer him on. On the other hand, police officers arrive and get very angry with the commotion.

After all the commotion, Mike’s name is on the list, but its doing no good seeing as Mike only has a few hours to live. John Q. risks all and decides that in order to save Mike; he will give his heart to his son. They can’t change his mind. No one can.
