Take your tissues, when you go to see 'John Q' BY SHONTAE HARRELL Bcmner Reviewer and Reporter "John Q" is an exhilarating, heartfelt movie that tells the story of John Quincy Archibald, played by Denzel Washington, a hard woridng factory woricer in Chicago trying to make a living for his family. Times are tough for John, a blue-collar woiko'. He is only getting 20 hours of work per week, and his car has just been repossessed, but through it all he remains devoted to his loving family. It isn’t until John’s young son becomes ill during a baseball game that John and his wife discover that the child needs an emergency heart transplant But John's problems are just beginning. John like most people with health issues thought his insurance coverage was actequate and would cover the cost's associated with his son's opera tion, but the hospital administia- tor played by Anne Heche informs him that his policy will not cover an expensive proce dure such as this. John soon realizes that he is unable to raise the money so he tries to convince the hospital’s riirriinfi surgeon played by James Woods to waive his lofty fee. His request is denied. With no alternative but to take his son home to die, John snaps and holds the hospital's staff and emergency patients hostage at gunpoint Because of his desperate actions, John becomes a hero, and his story becomes the focus of intense news covCTage. Even the police chief, played by Ray Liotta, and hostage negotiator played by Robert Duvall try to resolve the situation before it leads to bkxxished. Bring your box of tissues with you when you go to this movie; it is a real tear jerkCT, and the pofoimances are great Duel's convincing performance as a desperate fathCT has earned him another Oscar nomination. Even the hospital’s admin istrator, who refuses to put the child's name on the organ recipient list until Jdm is able to cover the down payment, lets a tear trickle down her cheek when John bids his son farewell on TV. I give this movie four reels. fwr rtih) tMMhrl* ItrNCMk'Wi BANNER CLASSIFIEDS Bennett College students may place announcements about meetings, services, items for sate, etc. -- 25 words or less -- in the Banner Classifieds for FREE.
