Flight was an awesome movie. But I knew beforehand that it
was going to be a good movie regardless. I realized that any movie starring
Denzel Washington is good. In my opinion he is one of the best actors in the
world. I enjoyed “Flight” because it had a really good story/plot and really
good character development. It was a serious movie with good comedy so it was
really entertaining.
In the first part of the film, Whip (played by Denzel) is a
shown as a veteran pilot who is also an alcoholic. After a night of getting
high on booze and cocaine, he is scheduled to pilot a plane with 102 passengers
on board to Atlanta. Disaster hits when the plane enters a dive and the
co-pilot loses control. Whip miraculously guides the plane to a forced landing
and saves the plane. 96 survive.
The plot thickens as accusations arise towards Whip
regarding his blood alcohol level while flying the plane. He had a blood
alcohol level of 2.4% which meant he was potentially facing life in prison.
I don’t want to ruin the movie or spoil the plot so the last
thing I will say about the story is that denzel Washington plays another
compelling performance in “Flight”. Bruce
Greenwood plays a concerned friend, Don Cheadle plays his legal counsel whom he
doesn’t like or trust, John Goodman plays the funny and awkward bestfriend and
drug supplier, and Kelly Reilly plays his love interest. Amazing actors equal
for an amazing movie. Overall, I rate this movie a 8/10 so go check it out!
