Jesus now that I'm thinking about it, Denzel Washington was in a movie about doing similar shit in like 2004, how has this not been the thing that took root in the minds of Americas young men.

I was actually thinking about that movie as I typed my last response haha. John Q, I believe. I remember it as a decent movie at least.
