First part of the film awesome. The rest, not so much

Rating: 7/10 (4 June 2013)

The first part of the film was awesome. The rest, not so much. The flight and crash sequences were fantastic. But then. The film turned into a standard character arc about addiction. It was all done very well, with good acting by Denzel Washington and Kelly Reilly. Also good were Don Cheadle, and John Goodman, who seemed to have come from a different movie. But people need to get their drugs somewhere. And how lovely was Nadine Velazquez? Wow! But come on, the addiction thing has been done to death. I don't mean to be offensive, but I have seen it so many times that it bores me. I gave it a better score than it really deserved due to the cast and the production values.
