You will not be bored watching it.

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2019)

The movie depicts misery of addicts that how they come closer to things and then they lose control over things. Mr.Whip Whitaker has just saved a plane in a situation that nobody else would have been able to do. But guess what? He was intoxicated in that flight. And after being celebrated as a hero, he finally got investigated as his miserable alcoholic addiction was eventually created suspicions of criminal negligence. Even then, he could have saved himself but decided not to lie again.
My takeaways from the movie are:
a) One you lie, it creates a loop of lies and it is better to pay a cost and avoid getting entangled into a loop.
b) Addictions are miserable. And unfortunately, you have to be your own hero while picking yourself up from such situations as your will is what determines your future course of action regarding those addictions.
c) As far as acting and script is concerned, there are few very powerful scenes (e.g When Whitaker first meets Nicole in a hospital and an interesting cancer patient comes and speaks few powerful lines about the Act of God). Hazel Washington is as good as ever with his acting. All in all, a good story and a fine cast.
