First know this is a human story....not an espionage action type

Rating: 6/10 (3 March 2013)

"An airline pilot saves a flight from crashing, but an investigation into the malfunctions reveals something troubling" → Led me to believe that this film had some kind of espionage. Nope.
"Flight" is predominately about a man's personal struggles, Granted, the plot line has a thrilling first 26 minutes & becomes reasonable and pretty straight-forward. But I wish I'd known that before, but I was trying to limit my knowledge to avoid spoilers. So my expectations were way different, and I ended up just waiting for clever plot twists...which never happened.
Had I known what this film was about I would have never seen it, especially with the camera fawning nonstop over Washington (yawn). However, the film is good for what it is, but clearly a vehicle for Washington, who does a great job, but...eh.
