Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

betty dalton I feel this is one of the best psychological portraits of a drunk. And simultaneously I believe this is one of the best performances of Denzel Washington's entire carreer. I have seen ALL his films, from the eighties till now. This performance just makes me silent, in awe... I wanna advice the fans of other very popular Denzel Washington actionmovies to think twice though, because this is not a regular fun packed action movie at all. It is more suited for the arthouse movie lover, who is into subtle portraits of human shortcomings. This is an intelligent, slowburning movie with lots of room for dialogues. I love it, but the masses might find it boring.Denzel Washington's character is severely addicted to alcohol, but he is in full denial. While being drunk he shouts: "I choose to drink, because I dont speak to my wife and son anymore. But I choose to not speak to them anymore and therefore I choose to drink". Does this make any sense? To an alcoholic it perhaps does. Booze is harder to get clean of than many other harddrug, like heroin for instance. Booze is everywhere. Temptation to start drinking again lurks around every corner. Only the alcholic himself can decide to make a clean start. First he must acknowledge though that he is a drunk. Then he must have something to live for, when being sober. Otherwise the temptation to surpress the inner mental pain wont go away after being sober and will trigger another drinking rampage. And another..Director Robert Zemeckis isnt know for dramas at all. A few years later he made "Allied" with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, another great subtle portrait of deceit. And deceit is what lies beneath any addiction too, because one has to fool oneself into believing that drugs are the cure to make any pain go away.It does for the short term, that's why drugs are so evil, they lure you in with their promise of quick relief of any pain, but drugs slowly destroy your soul in the long run...I wanna give lots of praise for the soundtrack, editing, photography and direction. This is one of those dramas in which everthing just worked out perfect. Powerful and subtle. Evil and rejoicing. Doomed and hopeful. Those extremes come to mind, thinking about "Flight". I believe this to be the masterpiece of director Robert Zemeckis.In memory of Ed Limato (1936-2010)

Michael Ledo The title is a little misleading. This is a story about an alcoholic substance abuser (Denzel Washington as Whip Whitaker) who has yet to come to terms with his problem. The flight incident happens early in the film while the rest of the film documents Whip's denial of his problems. What muddies the water is that Whip, while drunk, is a better pilot than anyone is sober.John Goodman provided the comedy relief for the film. I wish there had been more of him in the film. Nadine Velazquez provides the full frontal nude scene at the beginning of the feature.Denzel Washington creates a good character, but the plot was weak. It wasn't a flight film. And as far as a man coming to terms with his alcoholism, it didn't exactly grab me. There was some questions involving Denzel's secular views vs. the religious views of those around him. The co-pilot's wife caused laughter believing the accident was God's will.Parental Guide: F-bombs, nudity, no sex.

Leofwine_draca FLIGHT is an actor's showcase for the excellent Denzel Washington - one of my favourite stars working today - and a nice change of pace for Robert Zemeckis, a director usually mired in making kid-friendly movies. This one's definitely an adult film, telling the story of Washington's addicted pilot and his efforts to save the lives of his passengers during a disaster. This early sequence is inevitably the greatest in the film and a triumph of special effects and direction. The lengthy story that follows becomes a drawn-out character piece with courtroom scenes, legal battles, and most of all personal battles with the demons of drink and drugs. Washington is superb, which is no surprise, but it is a surprise to see British actress Kelly Reilly - previously best known for fare like EDEN LAKE - equally convincing as a fellow addict. The film is made with stylish and professionalism, and draws to an end in a very satisfying way.

annuskavdpol Denzel Washington plays an excellent role here. He is an alcoholic who admits he is an alcoholic and in the end he admits this. He admits he can no longer lie. One good quote is "I betrayed the public's trust." The scenes of the airplane turbulence are very life-like. The director also directed the movie Contact. Both have long scenes were there is no talking, more visuals, which I enjoyed.The scene of the National Transportation safety board is an excellent professional portrayal of a good investigation.
