An engrossing character study

Rating: Null/10 (5 February 2013)

This film is about a brilliant but chronically intoxicated pilot who demonstrated exceptional brilliance when landing a plane after a nose dive.
"Flight" cuts to the chase right away, and shows an air disaster that looks so scary and real. After the disaster, "Flight" looks at how the pilot copes with the life change and his alcoholism. It is an interesting character study, detailing the psychological changes he goes through. The pace may be a bit slow, but we can see clearly how the pilot goes from one stage to another. The ending is a satisfying turn of events, showing how integrity rises above all. I liked watching "Flight", and with tighter editing it would have been even better.
