The plane crash scene at the beginning of the film was wonderfully directed. Denzel is also fine playing a man whose life has been wrecked by a dependence on alcohol.

Riveting, powerful drama that was impossible to turn away from. Despite some very difficult to watch scenes, Denzel Washington gives one of his best performances as Whip Whitaker, the drunk but heroic pilot who was able to hide his demons from the world but not himself. This deep, thought provoking drama about alcoholism-addiction, consequences and redemption, culpability and lies will remain with me for a very long time. The plane crash sequence had me digging my nails nails into my chair. The best film about character, pathos, circumstance, and the emotions of an exceptionally complex human that I've seen in a long long while. 5 big stars! Director Zemekis is at the top of his craft in this deeply moving story told so well.

Hated the script. Didn't much like Denzel. John Goodman was fantastic, though.
