COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Flying High submitted by markwells on March 17, 2013, 1:46pm This is more a movie about substance abuse/alcoholism than flying. You might construe "flight" as one man's flight to escape the reality of his problems. There is one scene near the end with John Goodman that doesn't seem to fit. Having said that I did enjoy this motion picture and Denzel once again earns his standing as one of the premier actors of this century. Grade A-.

Great performance submitted by crazypockets on June 19, 2013, 4:50pm My final thought on this movie was that it’s really too bad Denzel Washington has to go up against Daniel Day-Lewis this year at the Oscars. They should really give out more than one Oscar under special circumstances. Of course this was a fantastic performance. It was hard to watch in its realism of someone dealing with addiction. The flight sequences were really interesting to me on top of the suspense. I saw a report on the news just after seeing this movie about a pilot who landed a huge plane in Poland with no landing gear. I am in awe of people who can do things like this. The bureaucracy of the airline industry and their inquiries and regulations was also sort of fascinating to me. I had a hard time with the female character since all I could see was her from her role as the snooty Miss Bingley in ”Pride & Prejudice,” but Denzel Washington is a god of acting, so I didn't focus on that much.

Grey, grey, grey... submitted by Steve Amick on August 30, 2013, 10:55pm Loe the greyness here, the lack of preaching.

Wow submitted by KOH on August 13, 2017, 10:10am Wonderful performance from Denzel, and I liked the way the plot unfolded. Great story-telling in this one.
