With Highest 2 Lowest reuniting Spike lee & Denzel Washington, we give you our John Q Reaction & Review!!

John Humphrey & Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) react to the powerful 2002 drama John Q, directed by Nick Cassavetes. This emotional thriller stars Denzel Washington (Training Day, Glory, Fences) as John Quincy Archibald, a desperate father who takes a hospital emergency room hostage to secure a heart transplant for his son. The cast also includes Robert Duvall (The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, The Judge) as negotiator Lt. Frank Grimes, James Woods (Casino, Videodrome, Salvador) as Dr. Turner, Anne Heche (Donnie Brasco, Six Days Seven Nights, Volcano) as hospital administrator Rebecca Payne, Kimberly Elise (Set It Off, The Manchurian Candidate, Diary of a Mad Black Woman) as John’s wife Denise, and Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Narc, Field of Dreams) as Chief Gus Monroe. With tense hostage dynamics, moral dilemmas, and an unflinching critique of America’s healthcare system, John Q remains one of the most talked-about dramas of the 2000s. Join us as we break down the film’s most intense moments, emotional performances, and the themes that still resonate today.
