Very touching storyline and great acting. Too bad they chickened out and went for the Hollywood ending. Real life isn`t "happy ever after". They should have ended it with John shooting himself before getting word of the available heart, then the doctor having two available hearts, one of which would be wasted. That would be more realistic. Too neat.

I thought it was a very touching movie that really got the people to think.Denzel was an excellent actor,and so were the rest.What really got my attention was that how John Q was was so determined to save his so life.Now in the real world how much dads would give up there for there son to live,very few.I think there should be a John Q 2. The reason I say that is because at the ending when he went to jail for taking over hostages it left the audience more into the movie wanting to know what happened to him while he was in jail or did he brake out of jail and ran away with his family somewhere far away.If you guys do make a John Q 2,I will be

It remided me of The Negotiator with Kevin Spacey and Sammuel Jackson. It was a great movie and I would do the same thing for my child anyday.

I loved John Q, I thought it was an excellent movie, it really shows the love that the father has for his son, and how he is willing to sacrifice everything, and his own life for him. And it`s nice, you always see the mothers, attachment, but never a fathers. I absolutely loved it! A must see movie!

Denzel was excellent as always, and James Woods is still my hero. I enjoyed the movie, up to the point they wheel his son down to the Emergency reception...c`mon!
