Flight (Now on On-Demand)

Denzel Washington is one of those actors I think I can't stand but then every movie I see him in I think, 'Damn, can he act!"

I liked this movie quite a bit. There are no spoilers here that you won't get from watching a two minute trailer. Denzel's character, Captain Whitaker, controls a crashing plane enough to avert utter destruction and save the lives of almost every person on board.

The aftermath is the real crash.

I don't want to write a lengthy review because it would be impossible not to spoil this movie and it's worth watching. So without telling you too much, I will say that any movie that can create more tension and suspense AFTER a harrowing plane crash scene is ok in my book.

My seat back tray IS upright. It is also covered in vomit.

 

Flight is about personal demons...and karma.

Given that you can view it from the comfort of your living room, I highly recommend it. John Goodman shows up but don't be scared, he disappears quickly and doesn't return until the end for one of the best scenes in the movie.
