In the movie Flight, Denzel Washington plays a role that takes him to court. Denzel Washington is a well-known actor and I give props to him for this movie. I think it was one of his best acting in his long career. He plays as Capt. Whitaker, a pilot of a plane that crashed but surprisingly only kills about four people. He lands the plane upside down and everybody says it’s a miracle. Denzel gets a lot of praise from the around the country. But there is story behind all of this. There was a malfunction to the plane that could have played a role in the crash. In the movie, Capt. Whitaker also has a drinking and drugging problem. So that is considered a criminal act. I think he made a bad decision to do these things and puts himself on the hot seat. Then it gets worse with a rainy weather conditions that makes it harder for him to fly. After the plane crashes he gets some injuries and is pursued by reporters and detectives that want to know what happened that caused this disaster. Another character in the movie is his lawyer, Don Cheadle that is motivated to hide the lies behind the crash. This actor is also well-known and has made plenty of movies. He hides the evidence of how drunk Capt. Whitaker was and is drug use. I think one theme in this movie is, always think before you do things. Because everything you do will come back to you some way. Flight was received an A by ew.com. I agree, and also think the movie was a journey and enjoyable in every way. I would recommend this movie to anyone that hasn’t seen it yet. It’s worth paying money to see this amazing movie by Denzel Washington.
