Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

merel-van-dongen After the exciting beginning of the film, I gained high expectations for the ending. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Don't get me wrong: alcoholism and pilots are an interesting topic and it makes you realise the seriousness of this problem, but they just ruined the opportunity to make it interesting! I wouldn't recommend watching this, it's a waste of time.

merelyaninnuendo FlightIt is completely base on a textbook formula of its genre and is overstretched in its initial stage, taking the character driven feature and star power for granted. The script doesn't have much to offer especially considering the amount of time it takes to reach a definite point; more than two hours is pushing it. Robert Zemeckis is no short on execution but the screenplay is the real culprit in here that never had enough crisp at first to make it on screen. As expected, Daniel Washington delivers on performance level but unfortunately isn't supported as was essential. It is short on technical aspects like sound department and editing which could have been a lot better. The primary reason why it fails to exceed or even match the expectations, is the anticipated impact that it fails to pitch on screen for the audience to care or at least be effected by the characters projected in here. Flight flies safely but lands off stage to an outcome that was visible far before it even hits the screen, making the whole process or journey redundant and exhausting especially when the makers weren't even convincing the viewers for a second look or something to think about.

Portobella Im in two minds over this film. On one hand Denzel Washington is always incredible and interesting, on the other hand the whole side story with drug addict girl played by Kelly Riley just didnt work for me, I dont get why this actress was cast in this part apart from the fact she was trending at the time and maybe that she has big breasts. Its a sad and at times thrilling story of a gifted pilot who is also an ardent alcoholic. But again, the thrill stalls everytime the scenes with 'Nicole' are playing......a shame.

Leofwine_draca FLIGHT is an actor's showcase for the excellent Denzel Washington - one of my favourite stars working today - and a nice change of pace for Robert Zemeckis, a director usually mired in making kid-friendly movies. This one's definitely an adult film, telling the story of Washington's addicted pilot and his efforts to save the lives of his passengers during a disaster. This early sequence is inevitably the greatest in the film and a triumph of special effects and direction. The lengthy story that follows becomes a drawn-out character piece with courtroom scenes, legal battles, and most of all personal battles with the demons of drink and drugs. Washington is superb, which is no surprise, but it is a surprise to see British actress Kelly Reilly - previously best known for fare like EDEN LAKE - equally convincing as a fellow addict. The film is made with stylish and professionalism, and draws to an end in a very satisfying way.
