I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
After the exciting beginning of the film, I gained high expectations for the ending. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Don't get me wrong: alcoholism and pilots are an interesting topic and it makes you realise the seriousness of this problem, but they just ruined the opportunity to make it interesting! I wouldn't recommend watching this, it's a waste of time.
Although most people watch the movie for the flight scene, I find most interesting the struggle of Mr. Whitaker to stay on his feet during the whole federal trial process. I was hoping for him to lie at the end, as I wanted him to be unpunished, for some reason. Probably because throughout the whole movie I identified with his struggles personally.
The films different. Something different, also having seen other flight movies,I feel this tops this category. Denzel performed class! Top actor and possibly one of my favourite movies and also including Dark Knight Rises.
I'm a huge Denzel Washington fan, mainly of his action adventure style gun slinging like in The Equalizer however this film completely took me by surprise. I was captured by it within the first 10 minutes. The first few scenes are incredible, especially the initial flight. I was invested in the film emotionally the whole way through and whilst toward the middle of the film I felt there was perhaps a little too much dialog and not enough actually happening that was all negated by the touching end to the film and the emotional response it created in me. The mark of a great film to me is one that invests you in the characters and leaves you still feeling that way long after the credits have rolled. This film did that for me.
