Good but not great.

Rating: 6/10 (29 December 2012)

Good but not great. The parts of the movie in the air plane are quite cinematic; the rest of the film feels a bit like a biblical story of redemption. IF it weren't for the in-flight sequences, I think this movie could have been a made for TV drama. I'm not sure if I'm doing justice to the movie with this review here, but it's a big movie and many critics probably have written a lot about the acting the directing the suspense, and yes the disappointments as well. Overall I felt the movie overshoots it's script by trying to cover a very complex issue in a very abridged way. Much like what my review is doing to the movie. Don't get me wrong, Flight is not a waste of time at all, but not the best vehicle for some of the great actors driving the movie...to me this film never quite manages to take Flight.
