Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When John Q puts the gun against his head and subsequently in his mouth to convince the doctor to operate, he yanks the gun down and back up to cock it, and the sound can be heard. However if the gun is unloaded as it is soon revealed to be, the slide would lock in the back position and stay there, but when John pulls the gun back up, the slide is still forward. moreQuotes:

Once again Denzel Washington has outdone himself in this delightful movie. I am getting spoiled when ever I go to see one of his pictures, as his depth is constantly great. Mr. Casavettes does a fine directing job in this poinient story, but with bits of humor thrown in to break up the tension. This may not be academy award material, but it certainly is worth the price of a ticket. Go see it, you won't regret it.
