Film Review : Flight

Genre : Drama Content Warning this film contain strong alcohol & drug use's (strong point its not safe to drink or be under the influence of drugs its dangerous & stupid)Cert: BBFC Gave this a 15, i would say 18 cert straight up due to the contents of the film.

Story: In this action-packed mystery thriller, Academy Award winner, Denzel Washington stars as Whip Whitaker, a seasoned airline pilot, who miraculously crash lands his plane after a mid-air catastrophe, saving nearly every soul on board. After the crash, Whip is hailed as a hero, but as more is learned, more questions than answers arise as to who or what was really at fault and what really happened on that plane?

Likes : i like Denzel Washington films some of them i love but this one was good for the first 20mins of the film with the plane but it kind of lost its charm after. Denzel Washington plays captain Whip Whitaker a pilot with an alcohol & drug problem probably over not being able to see he's son or the split up with he ex wife but he problem were just the start Kelly Reilly plays a drug abuse problem woman whos  had a hard life until she has a wake up call & gose to aa & really turns her life around. This film had its ups an down, but it lacks the storyline to keep you interested in watch it,really the only good thing in this film was with the plane & its intense moment as they try to keep the plane in the air. it dose have a true message that it i hard for a alcoholic to Amite they have a problem, its only when you shock that person they realise they have a problem.

Dislike: there is to many to say in what i didn't like about this film but he's a few, the film starts off good for the first 20mins with the plane but then it seriously get so slow you want to fall asleep watching it,it just lacked the story line to keep you interested, the fact the film shows it ok to drink & drive not only to fly a plane when your under the influence of drugs & drinking alcohol is seriously wrong for the cert they gave this film plus the fact of drugs & drinking is cool to be doing things like that.

Overall : overall this film was good for the first 20mins but don't expect it to be fast paced.

Rating: 2 out of 5 for entertainment / 4 out of 10 for plotline & theme
