John Q

Struggling to find a better job, John’s factory job has been reduced to part time. An ordinary American family finds themselves in a huge crisis. Their son, Mike collapsed during a softball game while running to a base. Hearing that the only way to save his son’s life because of heart failure, is to give him a new heart. Because John’s company has switched to HMO and John is only working 20 hours a week. The insurance company won’t pay for Mike’s the medical costs, which include the heart transplant. The family does not have that kind of money. As hard as John Q. Selling everything they have like television, sofa … etc tried they would not get enough money. They need $75,000 to put their child ion the donor list.

The hospital informed John Q. that they are releasing his sick son that day. With no other opinion John Q. decides to take a group of people hostage at the hospital and threaten that he would kill the people if they won’t put his son, Mike in the donor time. Time is running out. John’s son, Mike is slowly dying. Could his son get a new heart?

I personally think that this movie is very emotional. It successfully tackles the issue of health care of American. If your rich than you are cared with care, but of you are poor than the hospital will treat you like dirt. I really enjoy this movie it made me cry a lot. I recommend Adult and teenagers about 13 or 14 above.

If I had to rate this movie out of ten (10) than I would say about 8.
