Leaves You Feeling Like a Bad Hangover

Rating: 2/10 (3 November 2012)

Perhaps it was silly to think that a movie about a plane crash would have anything to do with a plane crash...
This movie is not for the intellectually curious. There is no depth to this movie, no real insight into the trials that a pilot may face after a disaster and how aircraft mechanical malfunctions can be handled by a talented pilot.
The movie is instead about Denzel's ridiculous alcohol problem that he would have no realistic way to sustain throughout a career as a commercial pilot, since commercial flight crew in the U.S. are regularly subjected to being breathalyzed and drug tested by the FAA. But logic has no place in this movie, nor does this movie allow any character, besides Denzel's, to be developed.
