Oh dear

Rating: 3/10 (31 January 2013)

This could have been good. But
After a "sit on the edge and bite your nails" scene where a drunk pilot saves the day and crash lands a doomed plane saving all but 6 souls aboard, this movie becomes nothing more than a not so subtle propaganda of all things godly. Although Denzel did obviously try really hard and portrayed his character really well, his efforts were overshadowed by the film's mission to preach at the audience about how bad alcoholism is, and how god is there to guide you and help you to become a righteous and responsible American citizen.
As I said, this could have been good. If they only stuck with the story. I don't even mind the amount of alcohol and drugs because they were part of the story behind this plane crash.
But boy, I am a grown up, as most of the viewers are(this is movie aimed at a grown audience) and I don't wish to have holiness and supernatural beings shown down my throat by American religious fanatics, who somehow mange to make it into most media, when I go and watch a movie in the cinema. A movie that is supposed to be about a plane crash and the broken man behind it. I just can't take this movie seriously
3 stars for acting efforts.
