Flight

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Tense and often painful story of a pilot, Whip Whitaker (very well-played by Denzel Washington-Oscar nomination), with some major substance abuse problems who saves the vast majority of his flight in a terrible crash but must nonetheless answer questions about his ‘condition’. Excellent supporting work from John Goodman (his drug buddy), Don Cheadle (the union lawyer), Kelley Riley (Nicole) the addict struggling to clean up who befriends him. A good and often disturbing movie produced and directed by Robert Zemekis that I wish could free itself from Hollywood’s strictures Odd/interesting bow to “The Front”
