I watched the movie “Flight” with Denzel Washington and at first din’t like it. I mean it’s a Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) movie, pilot is a drunk and has to come to terms with he must take responsibility for his actions. – not another one…
Later as I thought about it I realized it was more than that. Yes it was a good AA movie, but it was about “Taking Responsibility for ones actions”. There was a drug addict woman, “Kelly Reilly” who it really showed what they life of a drug addict is like. Then there became a bond with a drunk and drug addict that was a very strange love affair. Then at the very end the reunification of father and son.
I don’t think anyone could dispute the AWESOME flying scenes… some of the best. It’s worth a watch but not a movie you’d re-watch. John Goodman makes a couple of appearances and it’s an awesome performance! – you have to watch to appreciate.
For what it’s worth (almost nothing) that’s my take on the movie … 3.5 out of 5
