Trailer better than the film

Rating: 6/10 (9 June 2013)

This is a classic example of where the trailer is not only better than the film, but is also a total misrepresentation of it. From the outset I actually thought I was watching a different film than the trailer promised.
Advertised on iTunes as a 'tense, nail biting and tense thriller' Flight refuses to deliver, other than the plane crash scene, which is in itself extremely well made, compelling and rather terrifying viewing.
The remainder of the film is overly long, dull and predictable with the overtones of drink and drugs rather tasteless.
