Review For Flight
At a certain point, great actors want to show us the truth of something that may be far from their lives but that somehow they understand, intimately, all too well. David Denby-New Yorker Flight is a well-made motion picture, but not a fun or entertaining one. James Berardinelli-ReelViews Denzel Washington gives one of his most nuanced and impressive performances. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com This is Washington's movie from beginning to end, and full of little layers. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger An old-fashioned drama and all the better for it. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post A straightforward morality play crossed with a pretty good nail-biter. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Denzel Washington's one-note character is a prisoner of a one-thought plot. Kevin A. Ranson-MovieCrypt.com One would be foolish to expect anything less from one of our great humanitarian mainstream artists. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth More than anything, the film seeks to capture the anguish of a man trapped - not struggling with, not dealing with, but TRAPPED - by his own vices. Jordan Hiller-Bangitout.com ...a stepping stone back to bigger and better things for Zemeckis. David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews Whip (Denzel Washington) is a familiar alcoholic type; not believing he is one and believing that he is in control even when he's hammering himself into stupors each night. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters Flight flags when it defers to the more conventional elements of an addiction drama, but Denzel Washington's rousing portrayal gives the picture the fuel to succeed. Shaun Munro-What Culture Despite a strong lead performance from Denzel Washington, the uneven redemption tale stumbles down the stretch and ultimately fails to soar. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com This may be the most heavy-duty, and finest, Oscar-worthy performance yet from Denzel Washington. Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa) Denzel Washington's performance as an alcoholic in denial is worthy of awards, including an Oscar. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope As excerpted in the trailer, the harrowing crash sequence suggests a revamp of the disaster genre. But this is more 'The Lost Weekend' than 'Airport,' with a spiritual emphasis typical of such past Zemeckis films as 'Cast Away' and 'Contact.' John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) As A-list substance-abuse melodramas go, this one lands safely enough. Jay Antani-Cinema Writer Washington and Zemeckis should be shoo-ins for Oscar nominations. Washington comes as close as an actor can to sabotaging audience allegiance. It's one gutsy turn. Glenn Lovell-CinemaDope A rich portrait of early-21st-century America, for better or worse. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express Compelling story about the curse of addiction. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews a story about the question of redemption--not just whether the protagonist-in-crisis can be redeemed, but whether we want him to be redeemed, at least in the manner that is most likely to result in true justice James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk A very effective and positive exploration of the time-honored Twelve Steps in overcoming addiction. Denzel Washington is award-worthy as the denial-plagued pilot, and it is great to have Robert Zemeckis directing flesh & blood characters once again. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest The Plane may crash but Denzel and the movie soar. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com Washington, already the winner of two Academy Awards, does more exceptional work in Flight. John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) Denzel Washington flies a plane upside. But most of the time he's high on drugs and alcohol. "Flight" gets you through the door with the promise of thrills and chills. There are a few. But mostly it's just a crash-and-burn soap opera. Paul Chambers-Movie Chambers Unpersuasive and uncompelling. Mostly, it struck me as slightly tedious and utterly predictable -- and it felt even longer than it was. Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
