Drunken bum who is a good pilot

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2014)

This guy is a functioning alcoholic and he has a flight problem that causes a life problem for some of the passengers. Gradually he comes to cases with his life long problem with booze and drugs. He's a gifted pilot and he gets away with his shenanigans for a long time. The reason that Washington was so good at this role is because he very likely is a stoner in real life. The opening shot features a beautiful actress stark naked, so that's an extra bonus. Later on it's another junkie chick who is there to illustrate something or other. The scene with the AA meeting makes me glad I don't attend anymore. But I still have almost 11 years. I also never operated anything but a dice layout when I was stoned, so, no worries there. In closing, this movie is okay and I have watched it twice. Fortunately it was not that memorable so watching it the second time was fairly interesting.
