    I'd watch again

    by Rmontoya5019

    Great Movie. I enjoyed the movie from start to finish. The audience even applauded in the end which I think is dorky but it was very well played out by Denzel and John Goodman. Not for kids.

    Worth a 60-mile round trip to the theater

    by sophia633

    The story here is important. From what I saw in the trailers, I thought the plot would have something to do with sabotage. It does, but not at all in the way I expected. The story may be fiction, but the truth in it is hard fact. This is serious drama with a heart, and a message that can save lives. You will hear a lot about Washington's performance--his power is awesome. He doesn't just play the role, he makes it come to life with a reality that hits hard. It was thrilling to watch him.

    Made me feel

    by astrose00

    Really good movie. Made me uncomfortable, mad, disgusted, sad. Well acted with an excellent cast. Very realistic and not a typical Hollywood ending, which I really appreciate. Sometimes the best ending isn't a happy ending.

    More than expected!

    by kemo.dassau

    Denzel continues to show his versatility as an actor. Quite a few story lines and subconscious messages in Flight. I'm ranking this as a GO! I'll definitely be adding this to the movie collection once available.

    Outstanding Acting and Dialogue!

    by alexsmom

    The words spoken in this script jump off the screen and slap you in the face! A lot of scriptual messages that were lost because of the laughter of the spiritually immature and emotionally disengaged. Nevertheless, this will be a movie that I will see again and again. Loved it!

    Denzel is awesome

    by lavette

    Another great movie starred by Denzel Washington. Once again Denzel portrays a hero character but this time he is plagued with addictions. I would not recommend this movie for children, as there are adult situations being dealt with. This is an awesome movie that makes you think, laugh and cry. You will root for Denzel and be disappointed by some of his decisions. In the end he comes full circle and is truly the hero we all expect him to be.

    Fly 2 see this movie

    by grpierce

    I was not prepared for such a great movie. As a former Drug and alcohol counselor, this is a movie that shows all the classic signs, symtoms, and stages of addiction (without boring you to death). Performances by all are spectacular. I have told everyone I have seen to go and see this. If movies were not so expensive, I would definately go again and again.

    Denzel Washington soars in "Flight"!

    by dlwade70

    The movie "Flight" is the tale of a tortured soul and how he succumbs to his weakness while he tries desperately to maintain a facade of strength and control. Denzel Washington is superb in this role. He elicits feelings of contempt as well as sympathy for his character from the viewer. The many layers of what is initially seen as a one dimensional character are delicately peeled away as the story unfolds.

    Excellent movie - a must see!

    by jcezair

    This is what character acting is all about - rooting for the star, hoping for him, agonziing in his choices.....Brilliantly acted! However, I don't know if anyone would have made the choice he did if it were real life. The ending was kinda lame but I don't care! - it's Denzel!

    Lots to like about Flight

    by

    Few actors completely embody a role quite like Denzel Washington and Robert Zemeckis weaves the story to a fascinating yet predictable conclusion. You can depend on Washington being able to pull you in and as always you become totally invested in his character. You simultaneously pull for him and hope for his success despite his incredible flaws.

    There may have been a little too much backstory in the Kelly Reilly (Nicole) role that doesn't move the story along. We can completely grasp the fact that she is 'damaged' without all of the details of that damage. The story could have been enhanced better with more details and story of the the plane, the accident, and the subsequent investigation, but seemed as though the Directors decision was to concentrate on Washington's turmoil and fight with his own demons.

    Don Cheadle was great in his fairly small role, but he is the kind of actor that can stand out in a seemingly second tier part.

    Flight

    by cbsue222

    Great movie! But then, anything with Denzil Washington is great! As usual, he does an outstanding job. This movie will be nominated with several awards including director and would not be surprised to see Washington once again be nominated for an acadamy award - and win!!

    Denzel at his best!

    by prettyw102

    My mom, best friend and I went to see this movie tonite. Suffice it to say, we all loved it! My heart was in my throat during the first ten minutes. Denzel's acting was worthy of an Oscar nomination. It was interesting, sad, funny at times and truly depicted the horror of an alcoholic/drug abuser. We gave it a 9 out of 10...truly enjoyed it!

    Denzel Does it Again

    by MoviesAreMyLife25

    Denzel Washington delivers yet another steller performance in this well told story about an Airline Pilot and the mysterious cause of the crash of the plane he is flying.

    A steller cast with great cameos across the board.

    Denzel is amazing as he is raw, truthful and holds nothing back in this thriller that will make you laugh and cringe throughout the film.

    I really enjoyed myself and love watching Denzel work.

    I will be seeing it again!

    I highly recommend it to everyone!

    Flight

    by vfeather

    An absolute tour de force from Denzel Washington. The trailer is a bit if a fooler - this is a movie mostly about an unflinching look at one man's battle with alcohol and drug addiction...hard to watch at times but incredibly affecting. The twist at the end of the movie comes as a surprise and is very satisfying.

    Flight

    by chucksammis

    Once again Denzel Washington shows his ability to take on another dramatic role superbly. This is much less the story of an airplane disaster and much more a story of a man fighting his inner daemons, many times. It's tense, at times frightening and riveting, and at times injected with humor to bring it out of the darkness. John Goodman plays the comic relief and the drug supplier to a scary reality. The metaphor of an airplane in a headlong spiral and the pilot's life in a similar spiral is not missed. ?Flight? is another excellent vehicle for its star with a gripping ending. It's at least a go and for Washington fans, a must go!

TC_from_WV Flight was a great movie, and Denzel obviously killed it. How come no one mentioned John Goodman's stellar performance?
