Flight
I am reviewing the movie Flight which is an excellent film. It stars Denzel Washington as an airline pilot with a drink problem who stole and consumed a bottle of vodka during a flight. He admits falling asleep briefly during the flight & the aileron cable snapped during the flight causing the plane to go into a dive and somehow he landed it and some of the passengers survived. The fact that he was intoxicated hasn't contributed to the crash but they have blood samples from all the crew and noticed the bottle of vodka has gone missing. His girlfriend who was also an airhostess on the flight was also intoxicated and has a cocaine and heroin habit. His blood sample is declared void but they find out she was intoxicated and it looks like she will get the blame for the bottle of vodka. Not to mention she owes a lot of money owed for the drugs she's used. There's a happy ending in the sense he is starting to sort himself out. Also he has an estranged exwife and son and they patch things up. There's also a nice performance by John Goodman as a drug dealer. Denzel is great in it as well.
