COMMUNITY REVIEWS

What's with Zemeckis & plane crashes? submitted by klickitat on February 9, 2013, 10:34am Washington's performance, one of the best of his career, makes this film a "must see." (He was nominated for an Oscar.) The rest of the cast, Kelly Reilly and John Goodman in particular, are also excellent.

Some people have the wrong impression about the subject matter of this film. Despite a thrilling "action" sequence within the first half hour (said "flight"), this is *not* an action movie. It's more about the toll of alcohol and drug abuse. If the R rating didn't tip you off already, be warned this is not appropriate for young children. There is excessive violence, many scenes of drug and alcohol abuse, as well as a long scene featuring full frontal female nudity.

I was impressed how suspenseful this film continued to be, even after the crush sequence within the first half hour.

Nervous flyers beware: this one will mess you up for a bit.

Good Movie submitted by jarroyo on June 20, 2013, 12:57pm This is a good movie. It is an interesting character study about a pilot who keeps a plane from crashing and has his actions and life investigated. Denzel Washington does a great job in his role.

flight submitted by a2sue on July 17, 2013, 5:18pm great story about a pilot

Thought Provoking submitted by avalade on August 12, 2013, 5:31pm I thought the acting was amazing! The movie made me think about how confused our society gets when we have a hero that is seriously flawed.

Meh submitted by bnemerovski on June 29, 2014, 8:08pm If you like movies with no likable characters, "Flight" is for you. The main folks are substance abusers, enablers, awful friends, or a combination of all three!

I agree with other reviewers that me stop and think in a couple of places. Not sure they were really plot "twists," but definitely some undulations you may not expect.

Denzel is good and John Goodman is great. Otherwise, meh.

After submitted by yenkong on August 27, 2017, 5:13pm This show was about what happened after the pilot saved everyone on board...

good submitted by leenajong on August 27, 2017, 5:57pm Great performance by Danzel Washington.

good acting submitted by yufamily on August 25, 2019, 7:15pm One of Denzel Washington's best performances

Enjoyed it submitted by jibkidder on July 3, 2022, 11:14am As an addict in recovery I thought this was a decent portrayal, and for a conventional hollywood movie, I thought it was very good. I've learned from listening to a lot of interviews with actors, that Denzel is an actor's actor - just completely beloved. I think he's fine, but I wouldn't have guessed that without hearing it repeated and repeated. After the joke movie in Charlie Kaufman's "I'm Thinking of Ending Things", I will never think of Zemeckis in the same way though, haha!
