This 'Flight' Crashes and Burns

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2015)

Hollywood calls this movie 'Flight' as if it's about airplanes and flying, coupled with the poster-board photo of Denzel in a captain's hat. This film is NOT about aviation. It's about an alcoholic/drug-addict airline captain who 'heroically' crash-lands a plane, though he was high because of substance abuse when he did it.
So many flaws, I can't name them all here. I realized immediately that I didn't like the main character, 'Whip' (that's Denzel's name in this fiasco). How did this putz become an airline captain? He would have been shut down and escorted off the plane if he showed up in a dazed stupor the way he did. "Roll the plane"??? Give me a freaking break. This airline jet would have to be flying close to Mach 1 to maintain flight in an inverted configuration.
The co-pilot could destroy the drunken pilot and his lying friends who are trying to get his lame butt off the hook, but the script-writer cops out by making the co-pilot choose 'divine intervention' as an excuse to remain silent about Whip's intoxicated state during the crash investigation. Just when you think it can't get any worse, John Goodman shows up to do his over-the-top schtick, this time as a drug dealer.
More garbage from Schmollywood. Watch if you're a Denzel fan, but don't think this flick is about aviation.
