While the film is scheduled to be released via Apple TV on September 5, I had a feeling it needed to be seen in a theater to get the full effect, and I was right. The biggest reason the movie is a must-see is because of Washington. At 70-years-old, the iconic actor hasn\u2019t lost a step, delivering a powerful performance packed with layers. Washington plays an astute businessman, but also a loving father willing to do anything for his child. We\u2019ve seen Washington in a somewhat similar role (though the circumstances were very different) in 2002\u2019s John Q.<\/em><\/a>, which I personally believe should have been the first to get him his first leading man Academy Award.<\/p>\n In John Q<\/em>., Washington stars as a man named John, whose nine-year-old son is in desperate need of a heart transplant that requires a $75,000 deposit. John and his wife (Kimberly Elise) only have $1,000 to their name, so what does John do? Well\u2026he holds the entire hospital hostage until he gets what he needs for his son. We\u2019ve also seen Washington in fighter\/agent mode on multiple occasions, including The Equalizer<\/em> series that has been popular over the past decade or so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.purewow.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While the film is scheduled to be released via Apple TV on September 5, I had a feeling it needed to be seen in a theater to get the full effect, and I was right.
