i saw the movie "john q" on pay per view tonite

[spanky]

its a pretty good movie. there was just one part at the end which i didn't understand. i'm not gonna give away the ending, but has anyone else seen this movie? also, does denzel ever make a bad movie?! his movies are like all gravy

 

[bmacd]

that was such a sad movie, however, not one you can watch twice in the same week w/o getting up or walking away without pausing it. It was EXCELLENT the first time, but after that, it's repetitive.

Umm.. the HMOs where not the problem in this movie. The company that John Q worked for cut his coverage by saying that he wasn't full time at his job. If anyone really screwed him it was his job and the fact that they dropped his coverage.

it had potential but too unrealistic.

i was pissed at the HOM's becuz remember near the end, how that young doctor kid was saying the HMO's send doctors bonus checks at the end of the year to purposely misdiagnose ppl, so that ppl will always need treatment (or whatever). :disgust:

EXACTLY!
What the hell kind of police force would give a hostage taker his own kid WHILE HES TAKING HOSTAGES!?
WTF kind of hostages would pass on a oppurtunity to get out, and then LIKE the guy AFTER they are free!?!?
and that crap about putting a bullet in his head and using his heart was just that....PURE CRAP!

and wtf kind a police force would just have a straight line in front of the guy with 100 guys with pistols!?!? they would have sharpshooters, AND WHY THE FVCK WOULDNT THEY TAKE A SHOT WHEN THE GUY COME OUT?!??!?

this movie just irked me

Yes, and God knows Hollywood is a paragon of accuracy.

 

[ohtwell]

I thought that the movie was very good. Denzel Washington is a great actor,

I never watch Denzel Washington movies. His movies are always so self-righteous and preachy.

theres a difference between realism and intelligence in a script. steretyping to simplify one side into sneering evil is a cop out. course this only applies if you have a movie trying to push a message accross. if you have a fantasy movie, the rules are different

just a slightly better example of a decent script, traffic the cops on the US side aren't stupid, but they know they have to do their jobs. they aren't portrayed as sneering evil baddies like der

 

[spanky]

well i liked the movie for its entertainment value... not its realistic value. off topic.. i also like WWE wrestling

A guy at work has the initials John Q. I sh*t you not.
