[River 07]

I loved it and I felt he played his part very very well.

Loved this film, Denzel Washington is one of my favourite actors and thought he was superb in this.

The scene where

Spoiler

he finally admitted he was an alcoholic at the hearing, was a very moving moment and brilliantly portrayed.

So all in all a bit of mixed reviews all round then? So does anyone agree with this review from the Guardian, as they are usually quite critical, and also I agree with them alot most of the time lol

I'm hopefully going to see this tomorrow, assuming that it is still on, I can only find today's listings online & I know that cinema schedules run from Friday to Thursday.

Just type Flight and your location...results should show your nearest Cinema showing it.
Most have their listings up at the start of the week, for the weekend too.

Well I saw it & it was a good film - but I must admit that it was not what I was expecting.

I was expecting more of a thriller with intrigue as to what happened to the plane & possible sinister things going on.

Surprised at the lukewarm reception in this thread. It's been very well received by critics (78% on rotten tomatoes) and I would have to agree with them. I saw it on Tuesday having not seen the trailer so perhaps going in with an open mind helped, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it was a better film than Unstoppable which I also liked and the ending was great, they could have gone either way with it at that point.

Just been to see this, the beginning was so tense and had me holding my breath. I thought Denzel was so good in it, played a blinder of a character but the ending just left me a bit ''meh'
I don't know why and how else I wanted it to end but I just felt really underwhelmed

[dirty dingus]

Who you gonna call.....call Goodman. The getting him fit for the hearing scene was just so ridiculous it was cringe worthy. The love interest bit was just not believable, Denzel reminds me of Pacino where they just play themselves now with a little added mania.

[Inspiration]

Personally I thought 80% of the movie sucked and 20% was brilliant. Mostly the ending was the best bit and the plane crash.

[Syntax Error]

Flight is an excellent film & Denzel Washington was brilliant.

My only gripe is the title, which I feel is somewhat misleading, as it should have been called

Spoiler

Alcohol.

The Flight bit was incidental; he could have had any responsible job where he other people's lives were in his hands & his personal issues would still have been the dominant feature of the film.

[Dr. Linus]

Really, really want to see this. Always been a fan of Denzel Washington and on the relatively rare occasion that he picks a great part, he's amazing. I'm seeing Django Unchained this weekend but will hopefully squeeze this one in the week after.

[olive0000]

i saw it on monday and enjoyed it, which i wasnt expecting to after the ridiculous opening 20 odd minutes in which i was close to walking out.

however the part where he was questioned in the end and admitted what he admitted had me in tears. if anyone knows any alcoholics themselves they'll probably also find parts of this movie emotional.

good movie, but i probably wouldnt watch it again.

[Virgil Tracy]

This was really good ... until the ending which seemed very cliched to me .

but the rest of it was great , a proper grown-up movie , rather like some of those Sidney Lumet ones which we don't see anymore .

the acting was top notch , one of Denzel's best in ages .
