Great movie about alcohol, drug addiction and public responsibility

Rating: 8/10 (4 December 2012)

Anybody who ever goes into a job where your actions affect the public, such as a bus driver, a pilot or an Air Traffic Controller (such as myself), should watch this movie. There is a lot more to this movie than a pilot with exceptional experience and skill saving a plane and lives. It's about obtaining a position that is considered to be "In The Public Trust". I can assure the flying public however that there is drug testing and abusers are normally caught well before they get into the level of abuse that the character in this movie reached, or any substance abuse really. But there are those that may find a way to get around the protocols. Bottom line, this is a great movie and is extremely riveting. Denzel brings a level of credibility to the role that really makes it believable and I loved how when push came to shove, he proved he did have morals and did the right thing. definitely worth the money !!!!
