Fro T @frothizzlereviews 5 days ago Another knock it out the park performance from my favorite actor Denzel Washington, who plays the ultimate desperate father in a life-or-death situation. Great supporting cast including Ray Liotta, Robert Duvall, Kimberly Elise, and Eddie Griffin in a rare dramatic turn. The finale score is beautiful and has never left my head since I first watched this movie. One of the few movies that makes me ball like a baby. What were the critics thinking at the time of release?! You cold-hearted bastards... See more andrea C @Charst Sep 4, 2026 Film emozionante e a tratti iconico per il tema e per la meravigliosa performance di Denzel Washington; magnetico ed in grado di passare da cattiveria a disperazione con una facilità ed una credibilità disarmante. La trama e la sceneggiatura naturalmente sono volte ad enfatizzare la parte emozionale, portando in dote una serie di criticità a livello di credibilità che probabilmente potranno infastidire i puristi del cinema ma che passeranno quasi inosservati al grande pubblico. Non particolarmente necessario il conflitto tra Duvall e Liotta e purtroppo totalmente sbagliato il casting della moglie del protagonista. Un po' passiva la maggior parte dei personaggi all'interno dell'ospedale, le cui storie vengono accennate ma restano solo un contorno.

A tear jerker so def need tissues. Sadly I believe similar situations like these actually occur so it’s an eye opener & so heartbreaking. Proves to show what a decent human is capable of for the one they love. 💯 recommend to watch See more Magic M @RT03841956 Aug 17, 2026 The 22% score of this movie says a lot about rotten tomatoes more than it could ever say about this movie or Denzel Washingtons brilliant performance. This is a feel good movie with real source material that touches a lot of people because of their own personal experience with navigating the healthcare system. Is the whole plot perfectly realistic? No and niether is django unchained or harry potter and yet somehow i enjoy those just fine. First of all why is that even a critique? What i care most about is do i care about the characters. John archibald is a heroic loving father that i was rooting for the whole time. This movie gave me tears and laughs and has an award winning performance by denzel. This is an instant classic feel good movie about family and sacrifice. A must see — highly recommend—- dont trust the tomatoer see for urself:) See more Norm M @Norrimac Aug 16, 2026 Starts off quite well then halfway through descends into total dross. Washington must've been broke to make this garbage. Good for him.But don't waste your time. Even the ending is... (work it out) See more Read all reviews
