"John Q." - Movie Review




Hidden from the truth, the American citizens live obliviousy; unknown to the corruption, the greed - unkown to the evil of their Government. They stand on grounds built upon merciless lies and false promises - health care only finds those with money.



John Q. Archibald's family stumbles on the deception made by the insurance company: when his son falls terribly ill , slowly sinking into heart failure. Finally noticing that no matter the begging; that no matter how much pleading, their insurance company wil refuse to pay for a $250,000 heart transplant for their Mikey. Time is ticking; a countdown is made - their son will die in a matter of days.


Breaking away from the hypnosis, the Archibald family sees America through different eyes. When desperate situations find desperate families, you can only hope their solution is any less than insane. Crumbling under pressure and doubt, can John Q. manage to find salvation?


Showing the truth behind their words, "John Q." exposes the scam and corruption rooting from the peaks of power. In a twisted tale of hope, "John Q." unroots the lies hidden behind human greed. With a story based on a real event, will "John Q." be able to open up your eyes?



This movie was an eye-opener for me; showing the harsh situations and deep feelings different people had to experience. As a tear-jerking story, I'd recommend it to many people, especially those who enjoy a poignant movie.


7/10.
