Flight

Flight (R) 2012


Directed by Robert Zemeckis

Starring:  Denzel Washington, John Goodman, Don Cheadle, Melissa Leo, Brian Geraghty, Bruce Greenwood, Kelly Reilly, Tamara Tunie, Garcelle Beauvais, James Badge Dale, Rhoda Griffis, Kwesi Boakye, Michael Beasley and Adam Tomei


Bottom Line:  Watch it, but maybe not right before having to board a plane.


Here We Go:  A pilot (Washington) with a substance abuse problem is caught in the middle of an investigation after having to crash land a severely malfunctioning plane while intoxicated and on drugs.  The story is gripping and completely terrifying as the intense time of the crash landing crawls by in such real detail.  Washington is always personable and likable, and that applies even here as he struggles as an addict.  This movie has good acting (and much needed comic relief from Goodman), action, drama and a solid ending.
