Zemeckis has enough control as a filmmaker to overshadow Flight's structural problems, thus making the film both crowd-pleasing and emotionally involving.July 24, 2013
An ordinary drama about addiction and recovery, made somewhat noteworthy by Denzel Washington's firing-on-all-cylinders performance.June 23, 2013
Until the last 10 minutes, Flight in large part resembles one of those tough, dark character studies they used to make in the '70s.April 10, 2016
Between Washington's singular performance and Zemeckis' extraordinary direction, "Flight" sees one of the more revelatory actor/director combinations in recent memory.November 04, 2012
Denzel Washington gives one of his most nuanced and impressive performances.June 10, 2016
Not since Paul Greengrass sat us in coach for his 9/11 drama United 93 has a filmmaker so effectively summoned up the primal fears that, for the less air-worthy of us, lurk beneath every lurch, every "fasten your seat belts" warning.November 02, 2012
This is Washington's movie from beginning to end, and full of little layers.November 08, 2012
At a certain point, great actors want to show us the truth of something that may be far from their lives but that somehow they understand, intimately, all too well.May 12, 2015
The best movies concerning addiction are about the characters and not the Problem. Flight is about the Problem.November 04, 2012
Flight is a well-made motion picture, but not a fun or entertaining one.November 02, 2012
It succeeds as a carefully balanced cocktail of uppers and downers, of the type favored by its hero. You'll have a good night out, even if you don't remember it in the morning.January 30, 2013
'Flight' is predictable in its plotting and soft in its conclusions. But thanks to that dynamite opening and Washington's effortless performance, it's also an enjoyable, compelling slice of old-school melodrama.
