     As far as I'm concerned, John Q is all the reason in the world why we all should all have our own guns. In the real world that little boy would be pushed aside and left to die in a New York second. This falls into the "a man's got to do, what a man's got to do" category. And a real "John Q," not a Denzel Washington (whom I happen to like a lot {Fordham U, and all}), wouldn't get the time of day.

Denzel is one great actor. I saw him interviewed and he said that he isn't a moviegoer, he rarely sees his own pictures. That means that this is a man who practices a craft: he's a craftsman. He doesn't act in away that will "look good on the screen," he becomes the character and goes through the story. And man, what a great actor he is. It's true that I've never said, "that was Denzel Washington?" He is always recognizable, but so was John Wayne, and I don't remember ever seeing the Duke doing Shakespeare. I always like his movies, even when I don't like the subject. Hey, what about Fallen?
