Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Ok, pretty good. Sadly, as usual with these kinds of movies, there only seems one alternative for growing the heck up, and apparently that's religion. How about a movie that focuses on creating positive change that actually embodies fully responsibility and individual acceptance without leaning on something else... that would be a change.. Ending a serious addiction is a good theme for a film. Pushing religion at us throughout the entire thing is fairly cliché and boring. I could see it coming but really hoped we had something a bit more full bodied to go with.

FlightIt is completely base on a textbook formula of its genre and is overstretched in its initial stage, taking the character driven feature and star power for granted. The script doesn't have much to offer especially considering the amount of time it takes to reach a definite point; more than two hours is pushing it. Robert Zemeckis is no short on execution but the screenplay is the real culprit in here that never had enough crisp at first to make it on screen. As expected, Daniel Washington delivers on performance level but unfortunately isn't supported as was essential. It is short on technical aspects like sound department and editing which could have been a lot better. The primary reason why it fails to exceed or even match the expectations, is the anticipated impact that it fails to pitch on screen for the audience to care or at least be effected by the characters projected in here. Flight flies safely but lands off stage to an outcome that was visible far before it even hits the screen, making the whole process or journey redundant and exhausting especially when the makers weren't even convincing the viewers for a second look or something to think about.

Im in two minds over this film. On one hand Denzel Washington is always incredible and interesting, on the other hand the whole side story with drug addict girl played by Kelly Riley just didnt work for me, I dont get why this actress was cast in this part apart from the fact she was trending at the time and maybe that she has big breasts. Its a sad and at times thrilling story of a gifted pilot who is also an ardent alcoholic. But again, the thrill stalls everytime the scenes with 'Nicole' are playing......a shame.

Denzel Washington plays a thoroughly unlikable airline pilot who flies his passenger-laden aircraft while high on drugs and alcohol resulting in a crash which kills six people on-board.After his chief executive and the lawyer he hired find out that Denzel was blitzed at the controls of the plane, they both join the Unlikable Club by trying to bury the truth so they can get the pilot off the hook.Stupid 'only-in-the-movies' stuff includes Denzel flying the airliner inverted (upside down) and the co-pilot opting not to reveal what he knows about the pilot's impaired condition the day of the crash because the co-pilot is a religious fanatic who chooses God over conscience.... SCRIPTWRITER COP-OUT!!! John Goodman is on hand (again) to over-act as a worthless drug dealer with a comic twist in his performance which fails miserably.My one most important issue concerning this film is: Why didn't they make it on the level? What's with Denzel having swagger and an irresponsible attitude? Why not portray him as a real character, an airline captain who has a terrible secret? The way they did it, this movie is simply 'comic-book', incredulous, and dumb. It's a real shame.I strongly recommend, that if you wish to see a realistic film about an alcoholic airline captain, watch 'The Pilot' (1980) starring Cliff Robertson, whom also directed. Now THAT was a realistic movie on this subject.
