Flight

Another outstanding performance from Denzel Washington in a Robert Zemeckis movie directing.
This movie will grab you since the first sequence until the end of it.

The best way I can describe this masterpiece is short telling the story itself.
What to do to a person who saves 95 lives out of 101, from a plane crashing, but that person was under prohibited substances as cocaine and alcohol.
It should be considered as a hero for saving 95 life's, or he should be punished for being drugged in service?

The maneuver he did to save all those peoples was outstanding and very crazy. Being under such kind of substances our brain is uninhibited, we think we are capable of doing anything.
Ten other pilots tried to land the plane in a simulator and all of them crashed the plane. What suggest that if he was completely sober he could not have been able to land the plane.
So, being under drugs helped him saving all those people. My questions is: Should he still be punished for being drugged in service?

Bellow I let you some sentences from some critics about the movie, Denzel performance and Zemeckis.

“A gripping, deeply engaging and emotionally powerful drama that features Denzel Washington at the top of his game.”
Scott Mantz - ACCESS HOLLYWOOD

“Mr. Zemeckis, directing his best movie since ‘Cast Away’”
“Mr. Washington’s ferocious performance”
Manohla Dargis - THE NEW YORK TIMES

“Washington hits you in the gut with every beat, making ‘Flight’ near-transcendent.”
Kurt Osenlund - SLANT MAGAZINE

“Denzel Washington is beyond superb! It’s an Oscar worthy performance that's masterfully and skillfully delivered with ferocity and feeling. It’s the best of his career, which is saying an awful lot. And certainly one of the all-time best performances ever by an actor. He is way on top of his game in ‘Flight.’”
Shawn Edwards - FOX-TV

“Nothing short of a masterpiece.”
Jake Hamilton - KRIV-TV (FOX)

“John Goodman turns out another superb supporting performance.”
