a heart felt exciting Drama

Rating: 8/10 (30 April 2014)

This film is totally contrast throughout there are moments of absolute brilliance and also moments where I was so bored I wanted to turn the film off because I was bored. Denzel Washington stars as a pilot which lands a crashing plane while under the influence of Alcohol and the film documents the trials and tribulations he must endure throughout. Now I must say first Denzel Washington completely deserved his Oscar Nomination for his performance as his performance is the part of the film that you follow and he is the character that the audience needs to connect with. The side characters are all believable in their role and are superb in their performances. To properly describe this film the opening part where he is in the plane crash is heart stopping and fantastic but then it also stops and slows down a lot which is the boring part and then it becomes heart wrenching and tense towards the end of the film which makes this film a great film but not to the level of other similar films like The Wrestler.
