Excellent film, but far beyond (and nothing really) about an airplane crash.

Rating: 8/10 (17 February 2013)

I'm a big fan of Denzel Washington, Robert Zemeckis and the genre of realistic airplane crashes (I still think Cast Away was one of the most gripping airplane crashes ever filmed)... and this is an excellent film... BUT.
This film has very little to do with airplane or action thrill moments, but far more with a man and his entourage (family and colleagues) dealing with demons, addictions and how to help those in need - ones' self first.
I really liked it, even if I settled in to watch an airline investigation... yes, it is, but the true gem in the story and the ultimate end moment is how one faces ones' demons.
An easy 8/10.
