Flight. 8/10.
I didn't catch this originally, and I did want to see it. I'm glad I got around to it. Denzel is one of my favourite actors, and he delivered the goods here again. I found it quite poignant and sad during the end segments, when Whip just couldn't let the alcohol go and descended further into the abuse cycle. In light of the Lance Armstrong saga this movie was particularly relevant, especially with the end hearing section. It's an interesting story. Yes, he drank during the crash - which is grossly irresponsible. But by doing so it very likely led him to do something (invert the plane) that nobody else would have done, thus saving almost everybody. And the plane nosedived and it was out of his control. But you simply cannot have pilots drinking. If he landed the plane and kept going like this, something was sure to happen anyway.
