Flight

Flight isn't an easy sit. It doesn't offer up comforting answers to the many questions it raises or deal in exaggerated platitudes an audience might find simplistically comforting.

Flight proves, in a bad way, that believable characters are essential for all good movies.

While his performance here is perhaps not as introspective as it had the potential to become... it is off kilter from his more usual fare these days making it that much more memorable and compelling.

Robert Zemeckis' Flight is worth seeing for Denzel Washington's Oscar-nominated performance as well as a marvellously tense plane crash - but the rest is disappointingly soap opera-esque.

t is hard to think of a film as weirdly paced or as oddly structured as Robert Zemeckis's largely successful return to live-action drama.

Here, after the truly alarming crash sequence, there are no special effects, just deft and committed film-making, letting us see steadily in long takes.

Led by Denzel Washington's top-notch performance in Flight, Robert Zemeckis' return to live action was worth the wait.

Washington delivers one of his most complex and intricate performances.

Zemekis rounds up a potent film about a freefalling alcoholic with a few existential themes such as salvation. [Full review in Spanish]

Denzel brought it in this one and so did most of the other actors. It's a really good movie.
