Synopsis

When his dying son is refused a life-saving operation because it is not covered by his HMO, a distraught father (Washington) takes hostages at a hospital waiting room.

Review

Washington gives a commanding performance as a father who takes a hospital emergency room hostage when his dying son is refused a life-saving operation. There's little else, however, that's exceptional in this bogus story which pretends to examine the health care industry but defaults into a clichéd revenge drama. The plot -- which has Washington holding various staff and patients at gunpoint while attempting to gain sympathy -- isn't believable at all, and its "HMO-as-villains" message is basically preaching to the choir. A superficial treatise to a complex issue.

--David Bleiler
