John Q (2002, DVD)

I never received this item even though I paid for it right away with PayPal. I tried to contact seller, but they are not available. I have begun mediation...

This is a great movie to watch ,real tear jerker.The one thing great about Ebay you can find older movies that stores dont sell anymore.This movie will be a wonderful addition to my collection..

Denzel Washington's performance was good, of course, but the script was HORRIBLE and the story becomes more outrageous and unbelievable the longer it goes on. It really got crazy when Denzel's character decides that the only way he can save his son's life is to blow his own brains out so that his heart could be transplanted into his son. And the doctor, played by James Woods, AGREES...even though he knows it's unethical, morally wrong and that his heart may not even be a true match! This crazy plot overshadows raising awareness for the health care issues in this country. When Denzel is saying goodbye to his son (before he's about to go kill himself), he tells his son that when he grows up he should make as much money as he can "even if you have to sell out." This could have been a believable story, but that just blew it all for me. I'm surprised Denzel Washington chose to be a part of this project. Two-thirds of the way through the movie, my husband and I were just laughing at it. Don't waste your time with this movie!

Great Action Packed Denzel Washington Movie! Great couple's movie! Action Packed and entertaining all the way around! I love Denzel Washington and this one is a MUST SEE! Don't hesitate to buy it or to rent it! One Great Movie that will be worth your time!

Compelling movie, great actor, makes the bad guy look good,vice versa and who wants to take the "bad guys" side? WOW!! If push came to shove how many parents would go this far?

Very moving movie & DW was fantastic in it, I recommend it to anyone!!!
I bought it as it was at a very low price & have wanted this movie for a while now!!

makes you think about today's faulty healthcare in the united states. why is it set up this way. this film makes you think that too many people capitolizes on the misfortunes of the american people. this film highlights that there is more important things in life then to be a rich doctor who will only work on the insured and is willing to let anyone die and then get into their $100,000 mercedes and drive to their million dollar home. watch this movie, and tell me we are still better off then canada.

I am collecting DVD's that I can watch at my leisure. The products so far has been wonderful. I don't have any compaints about any that I have purchased. I will continue on purchasing them.All the ones I have been getting are brand new except the Titans.

Not only did the dvd arrive in excellent condition it also arrived in a very timely manner. I would order from them again due to their great service.

I bought this movie, because it is one of the best I have ever seen. I don't think anyone's video library is complete without it.

Denzel Washington is an amazing actor, and I have most of his movies. But, this is one of his best. He plays a father, who will do whatever it takes, to save his son's life.

He is so believable in this role, that you actually feel as though you are there with him, and watching his son get weaker and weaker, just breaks your heart. You almost feel as though you are about to lose one of your own children.

I would recommend this movie for anybody that watches movies - regardless of age, genre, anything! It is truly one of the best!

i bought this dvd for my boyfriend because his came up missing and we couldn't find it anywhere around where we lived

AMAZING MOVIE!MADE ME & MY HUSBAND CRY!! LOVE IT. GREAT FAMILY FILM.A REAL A*S STORY. I ENJOYED IT-ANYONE WOULD. IT'S VERY SUSPENSEFUL, SAD WITH A GREAT ENDING.
WATCH IT!!

I ordered this movie and paid one penny for it and we watched it yesterday and it is a wonderful movie (my favorite). I would recomend it for any one. It is the way many americans live and what they must go through.

I bought this movie for my boyfriend because he loves Denzel Washington movies. It is a very good movie. I didn't dislike anything about this movie.

I bought this DVD for a Christmas gift. I didn't actually watch the DVD because it was a gift. The plastic wrapper was a little torn when I got it. It looked like it was rewrapped because the plastic looked funny. I saw the movie about a year ago and really liked it. Overall, it was a great film and I would suggest it to anyone who likes suspense.

It arrived on time. I have been cheated out of three money orders on ebay and I appreciate their promptness. I would buy again from these customers.

I really enjoyed this movie. Denzel did a wonderful job playing the part of a father who will do whatever it takes to save his son's life. It was amazing and totally convincing watching the emotional desperation that he went through. I have seen many movies that show a mother's love and how far she will go to protect her child. This movie shows the type of love that we would all want our dad's to possess. Was it morally right to hold the ER hostage?? No....and he did end up paying the price in the end with a jail sentence....but that was a small price to pay for his son's life and to expose injustice in the insurance industry. This movie will bring tears to your eyes....and down your cheeks!

If this story were real, it is very unlikely that John Q's choice of action would have had a positive result. The movie also has a slightly harsh view of the medical field, but I think it’s meant to criticize health care in America more than doctors. Yet the doctor in this movie happens to be a hot shot who can flirt with a rich man's wife and play tennis with him also. If you're a real doctor, watch Patch Adams for inspiration, not John Q.

Overall, this movie gets a "quick positive feedback". In the beginning this movie does such a good job of showing a happy family, despite the fact that they're experiencing hardships. Almost every time I watch that movie, someone in the audience towards the beginning has to mention out loud that they absolutely love that family. To say that the wife was a little demanding is an understatement, but in the end she supported her husband. And I don't think any movie shows a father's love better than John Q. I particularly like the scene where John Q. is about to kill himself so that his son can have his heart, and he takes a moment to give his son as much fatherly advice as he can. And the advice he gives is so good! If I didn't think it would ruin the movie I'd write it out word for word in this review. That one scene alone makes it worth it to endure someone's two-hour political argument. And as far as the politics go, they just might have a good point there.

movie was good story line was great i am shocked that no one has copied it yet and done something similar! the way the health care sstem is and insurance. i say see it to see how the poor live with no health insurance!

most films in this genre focus the action on enemies robbing banks and murder. this film is origional in that an ordinary hospital is where it all happens. As patients, we walk into hospitals knowing we're safe, and that it's the least likly place to encounter a gunman. John Q is suspensful and will leave you understanding why somtimes its good to be bad.


This film was brought to my attention in a Physchology class at the University of Alaska, Anchorage. We were discussing cognitive development and John Q became the topic because of the choices he was faced with. Is it morally wrong to do what he did?

This movie is one of Denzel Washington's best. Quite different from his usual typecast character as a policeman or detective, John Q is just an everyday working man, finding it very difficult to survive in today's economy. What he is forced to do to save his son is very emotional but illegal as well. If you like Denzel Washington as much as I do and enjoy a very touching and emotional movie, you have to see this one.
