    I never want to drink or fly again....

    by miss gizzy

    I fly fairly often and I realize that you put your life into the pilots hands when you fly and this movie effectively showed this. The alcohol and drug abuse was so vivid you really took the ride with Denzel's character and it was cringe worthy in so many places. This movie was well written and acted but VERY dark.

    We loved it! My guy did not disappoint at all. The ending surprised me, but I love it when it's not predictable.. You do pull for him though through out the movie hoping he can get it together..
    The ending is powerful.

    The Flight

    by laurapitchford

    Flight is far from up lifting but the acting is superb. It is definitely not for children. Very well done but don't expect to leave feeling happy!

    Denzel at his angry best. Kept me on edge of my seat much of the time. This is a very good movie if you do not feel offended by nudity and cursing. This is not for children. I would like to have known a bit more about this character's history which would have added more depth. In terms of dramatic tension, it did not disappoint. I give it 4 stars.

    Flight

    by schoharie

    Although, at times, it was difficult to watch, we loved the movie. Denzel Washington did a superb job as an alcoholic struggling with his addiction. the story line was tense and moved rapidly. The acting was great.....John Goodman, at times, "steals the show". The subject matter was a little different than what we have been used to and I felt it was handled delicately. All the actors played their roles with great sensitivity, never over acted....yet made you feel that you were part of their issues. I felt the special effects were realistic as well..the scenes in the plane during the turbulence were felt by everyone in the audience...not a sound could be heard!
    Bravo for the cast, crew and everyone involved with this film....it is worth seeing....great thriller/drama! This is an adult film, definitely not for children...subject matter can be thought to be hard core and tough to watch at times....although its content is an important and integral part of the plot.

    Gripping, powerful, this is a classic

    by donmontalvo

    One of Denzel Washington's finest roles...my guess is he will be nominated for another Oscar.

    Briliantly written, perfect acting and the effects were not overdone but just right.

    Wow...do not miss this film.

    Was good!!!

    by mrbill33000

    Denzel did a awesome job as always. If you haven't read the storyline like me and only saw previews its a good story, but sad too. Its a well done drama flick and would recommend. Full nudity and heavy drug and drinking so think twice if bringing teens I guess.

    Flight

    by ednzory

    As a recently retired airline employee, this movie hit home. The crash scene was the most frightening I have ever witnessed. It brought back horrible memories. In May, 1979, I was taken out to try to assist survivors from the crash of flight 191 at Chicago's O'Hare airport. There were none. This movie brought back all the horror passengers must have felt prior to the crash. The movie crash scene set up the perfect allegory for the rest of the film. The captain's ability to control his aircraft but unable to control his life. The only questionable scene was at the beginning of the film where he (the captain) does a walk around the aircraft. Captains do not do this, this function is left up to the first officer. Also, the relationship between the flight attendant and the captain should have been developed more to justify his decisions at the hearing held by the NTSB. Aside from those two issues, this was an outstanding movie delving into the human spirit.

    Interesting to see him play a character like this.

    by divagrl1

    We are used to seeing Denzel in the "hero" role. However this time the hero has a flaw...a major one that for some might be hard to watch. This will have you thinking and talking about long after the movie is over.

    We Can All Learn A Great Lesson In This Movie

    by

    Not to many movie producers make a good movie that someone can actually learn something from but this was one of them and they picked the best actors as well as actresses to play the roles in this movie. I would suggest everyone seeing this movie because not only did Denzel make you feel the heart of this movie. He did an amazing job as always, but he played the character above and beyond. I believe this man should win an oscar for the character he played. This movie was more than the character because it was more about the message the producer and actors sent out. Watch it because it will change your life or have you thinking about your life in a way you never did before.

    Flight: A first class movie

    by

    Ive gotta say, the only reason I decided to see this movie to begin with is because Lincoln wasn't in yet andI wasn't in any mood to see the seven billionth James Bond movie. Ok, first of all, what I expected was a complete boring movie about a fantastic pilot avoiding a catastrophy. But, that assumption turned around, and here's why. The movie started off just as I suspected. The pilot did some crazy piloting. But, then they tested his blood, and found out he was realy drunk. It caught me realy off guard when the movie started focusing more, and more on all the bad things his bad alchohol addiction was for him. It showed me how addicting it can be, and that it's never too late to get help. It also reminded me that lieing never helps your situation, and can only add on more bad. The movie FLIGHT was a phinominal movie and I give it "5 out of 5". No movie has greatly impressed me like the movie FLIGHT did.

    Excellent Denzel movie!

    by SQ44

    As always, Denzel is a terrific actor. The story interestingly develops, as does his character. If you are a Denzel W. fan, you will definitely love this well-made movie.

nialljclark Just saw 'Flight' with Denzel Washington. By that I mean he starred in it, he's not here with me, on the sofa, in his pants. That'd be odd
