Brilliant!

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 2017)

I'm a huge Denzel Washington fan, mainly of his action adventure style gun slinging like in The Equalizer however this film completely took me by surprise. I was captured by it within the first 10 minutes. The first few scenes are incredible, especially the initial flight. I was invested in the film emotionally the whole way through and whilst toward the middle of the film I felt there was perhaps a little too much dialog and not enough actually happening that was all negated by the touching end to the film and the emotional response it created in me. The mark of a great film to me is one that invests you in the characters and leaves you still feeling that way long after the credits have rolled. This film did that for me.
