Just One More Snort, Sniff, Puff, Toke, Swig For The Road

Rating: 2/10 (25 November 2014)

For me, finding out that in real-life actor Denzel Washington is, in fact, a devout Christian certainly cleared up much of the meaning behind a lot the bull that prevailed in Flight's flighty story.
If one bothers to pay really close attention to the underlying message in Flight, there can be no denying that this is, in reality, a religiously biased tale that centres around the holy deliverance and redemption of a contemptible louse (sinner) who transforms into a glowingly sober saint.
The one scene of holy pretentiousness that totally killed me was when Wimp... (oops!)... I mean, Whip Whitaker went to visit co-pilot Ken in the hospital.
Even though this dude would never walk again as a result of the plane crash, he beamed at Whip and said that the Lord Jesus Christ had ordained the crash (that killed 6 people) just so that Whip could see the errors of his philandering ways and now walk the path of total righteousness. (Spare me!)
Personally, I thought that Whip was a truly despicable character, from start to finish, who wasn't worth any sympathy or consideration, whatsoever.
And, speaking about despicable characters, I thought that John Goodman as the stinking, loud-mouthed, drug dealer, Harling Mayes (who always had the answers for everything) was a total ass-wipe of the highest order.
This easily forgettable film also lost itself some significant points for its blatant product placement of both Corona & Budweiser beers.
