An Amazing character study

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2015)

Denzel Wahington once again reminds us why he's such a great actor in this drama. Flight is not a film about planes or a pilot's life, but it is an amazing character study about the demons of a man. This man, portrayed almost flawless by Washington in an award worthy performance is a man of addictions trying to overcome these. And that is what the movie is basically about, a man trying to fight his disease and how the people around him react to his actions. What's so great about the movie is how you actually sympathize with the character of Denzel Washington: I mean there are literally many times during the film when I actually was talking to Denzel in my head like "Oh don't do it man, don't drink that stuff, come on" And I believe that says a lot about the movie, cause you actually care for the characters in this. Flight has great performances, a great story and it is beautifully told. Robert Zemeckis' epic comeback, indeed.
