Review of Flight

High Five and hats off to this new sensation starring Denzel Washington. I am a big fan of him and try not to miss his power pack performance.

Flight is a great movie featuring Washington as an airline pilot, Whip Whitaker. He is hailed as a hero when he saves a plane-load of passengers during a flight gone terribly wrong. However the events got a twist when the investigation started of the case in which six people died, eventhough about hundred passengers survived. Everything is on Whip's side except his own weakness of being avid drunkard, a hardcore alcoholic and habitual drug user and he was under the influence when he landed the plane. When his drug use comes to light after a toxicology report, Whip finds himself face-to-face not only with his own addictions, but also the very real chance that he could go to jail- despite his heroic deeds.

Through out his life drinking was dear to Whip and he lied to the extent to protect it, but finally when one more lie can do the trick under investigation, he caved in.

A remarkable movie, highly recommended to be watched.
