Denzel deserves the Oscar!!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2013)

Denzel carried this movie all himself! His acting was phenomenal. I could do nothing but have sympathy for him. He created a character from scratch and it is easily one of the finest performances he has pulled off in his career.
I have seen Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln and I have seen Phonenix in The Master, both outstanding performances in their own right, but in my view it would simply be unfair not to give the Oscar to Denzel. He far excelled both of the above actors in acting potential in Flight. The connection I felt with his character was amazingly immense.
The movie itself is well directed and scripted, with 'slow burner' plot, but at the same time, very gripping. This is a movie not to be missed and easily one of the best films of the year.
