Story of an alcoholic

Rating: 8/10 (15 February 2013)

First of all: I expected an action movie with one of my favorite actors (Dezel forever!!), but I got a drama about a hero with a massive alcohol problem. The action sequence (flight catastrophe) is only short, but nevertheless very intense. The rest is about the investigation of the flight catastrophe and about how different people handle their addictions. As I worked for some time with alcoholics I think I know a little bit about the whole subject. This said, the movie is open, direct and without pathos. It shows reality and Denzel is wonderful as ever. Therefore the 8 points. But definitely no action movie!
