This Is Denzel Washington's Finest Hour

Rating: 7/10 (21 January 2013)

Flight an investigation addiction drama staring Denzel Washington better then he has ever been. Flight an airline pilot saves a flight from crashing, but an investigation into the malfunctions reveals something troubling in a different long style. Flight from a high octane tense edge of your seat plane crash opening beginning things slow down as we learn about Addiction and one man's serious down ward spiral for which you think why is he doing this to yourself and that drink is the devils juice. Flight is very little on action or fun it is a drama that focus on Washington's character Whip Whitaker and his struggle with drink and drugs in a way that will have you gripped till the end. Flight is griping by all accounts it is not action and not full of planes crashing we just have the opening scene which is realstic and imaging if you were on that plane and what you would go through will be going through your mind (also I would advise that you don't watch this if your going on your holiday any time soon) and it is basically one man's fight to get out of the ditch he is in, but a good one. Flight the acting is on top form (Bruce Greenwood, Don Cheadle and many more) all praise must go to Denzel Washington who is amazing (even though I have to be honest and say I have not really seen many of his films but from what I have seen this is the best he has been) playing a complex character with major issues drink drugs, his wife and son leaving and crashing/saving the plane. Flight will leave you feeling good not overpowered as there is no light at the end of the tunnel but what keeps you hanging is the truth will he admit what he has done or keep living a lie. Flight is a 2 hour journey of a man's despair and self destruction but if you let this flick you will feel yourself hanging on till the accepting climax and it will leave you wish a strange feeling as you have not just watched an action packed flick you just feel good about this man's life once again. Flight in short it is a long well made flick of addiction but don't expect a blockbuster but do expect great acting and an intriguing story.
