Ending could have used some work, but still somehow perfect!

Rating: 10/10 (25 August 2014)

Denzel Washington plays an excellent role in this amazing and powerful drama. It tells the story of an alcoholic pilot and his fall into darker and darker situations. When he is on a routine flight, something terrible happens. The aircraft malfunctions resulting in a nose dive. However, this skilled pilot, even with being severely intoxicated, is able to successfully crash-land the plane and save almost everyone. Soon after the accident, mandated toxicology reports of the crew on board comes back with a high alcohol content in the man's bloodstream at the time of impact. This leads to an investigation, one in which he must hide his alcoholism or end up in serious trouble. This movie was extremely well made. the soundtrack added such symbolism to the film, the actor's performances were excellent, and quite frankly, the story hit home for me. It was so well done, there isn't really much to complain about, except perhaps a lackluster ending to such a powerful film. Luckily, this does not take away from the film's excellency, and I still truly enjoyed every aspect of this movie.
