While this was a good movie, it was nothing original. Simply a different spin on the common theme of addiction. What I found particularly annoying was how the trailers roped me into thinking this movie was more about a pilot who had a drink rather than a addict who flew a plane. The differences are subtle but watching Capt Whip's life careen out of control for two hours just wasn't as entertaining as I would have liked.

Excellent story, plot, and climax that tells a different story of alcohol and drug use but an amiable and excellent ending.

Although there are a number of potholes in the story and a number of artistic liberties taken by this film, it's still worth seeing. A well directed cast and a good plot, albeit a stretch.

Flight was well done. Characters well developed and very human - faults and flaws not glossed over. Leaves one feeling conflicted, emotionally and ethically... can one be both intrinsically good and amoral simultaneously? Does a positive outcome outweigh irresponsible behavior? Well paced and engaging. Entertaining movie.

Started off with an interesting premise-but the whole junkie, drug and prostitute theme was overbearing. Then try to tie all those issues together with a crash course in religion made it just seem bizarre. I was just trying to get a grasp of just where were they taking this picture for the whole movie made it seem for me to be very odd throughout.

Found it boring and inane. Dragged on and on, thought it started out okay it sunk into the depths of boring very quickly... couldn't even finish watching it.

Powerful movie, powerful acting by Denzel Washington. If I was a substance abuser I'd might feel uncomfortable watching this movie. Scary knowing these people are out there and knowing sometimes other people enable them and all it may take is circumstances to be right for a tragedy to happen.

Would of gave this movie a 7 perhaps. I really didn't understand the need for the naked chick in the 1st scene of the movie? It was literally a blatant use of nudity that added nothing to the story whatsoever... The rest was ok. It's a movie about a struggle with addiction with a plane crash surrounding it.

This is like a "if you drink, don't drive" (or fly for that matter) type of film. More questions are raised as time goes by. The truth will make you come clean. Another great movie by Denzel. Worth my toonie.

One of the best Denzel movies I have ever seen. He is weak and vulnerable, imperfect, real and raw. The film is very moving and teaches the lesson - "the truth will set you free".

I enjoyed this movie, a must see.

Definitely worth seeing. 2 hrs. of good entertainment. Denzel once again gives another great performance... as do most of the other cast members.

Memorable opening scene. Nadine Velazquez leaves her mark on this film. Overall, an interesting movie, though one has to suspend their disbelief a few times.

I don't know why I thought there would be more action. Pretty decent movie, not my fave of Denzel.

Socially responsible movie for community at large. This movie is teaching us that we must admit our mistake or wrong doing and it also reminded us not to drink and drive or fly (for some individual).

Enjoyed the movie and Denzel did a great job, but not as gut wrenching as Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas.

Entertaining movie. Great cast and amazing performance by Denzel Washington. A must see!

This movie left me thinking about it a lot even days later. The role that Denzel Washington played as an active alcoholic, eventually coming clean, gave the movie plenty of substance. The crashing portion of movie was tense and exciting!

Good movie, just wish the pacing was a bit faster.

Great acting by all. Best for a mature audience or the over 40 crowd.

Great movie. It has a religious theme that some may not enjoy but it's in the background and not as big a factor in something like The Book of Eli. Not quite sure what would happen until the very end and that was nice.

There should be a rating between 7, 6, and 5, something like," too preachy" or "not preachy enough", or "nobody has ever flown a plane like that, I mean NOBODY... at least not with me in it!"

If only it was not that long!

Loved the acting. I would give this movie more of a 7.5. Loved the female lead, she was excellent. The plane scenes were great. I liked the story.

I really enjoyed this movie; Denzil is a favourite of mine and he did a great job playing his character!

I wanted to see it for the cast mainly and thought it was about the flight and the crash. There was no mention in the trailer's about the addiction problem's that it really focused on. Totally not what I wanted to see or thought I was going to see and really disappointed by that.

I like just about anything Denzel Washington does and he did not disappoint in this movie.

Great Movie. Denzel at his best. Raw performance. Great Script. Great Acting. Love John Goodman as well. Great ending. Highly recommend going to see this one.

This movie is not what I expected. I thought there would be suspense, but all it is, is a billboard for Alcoholic Anonymous. If I knew the movie would be all about drinking, I would not have waste my money. The bow-legged girl nude scene was also unnecessary.

Well done! Not what I expected with a nice twist at the end.

Too predictable and typically Hollywood: the crime, the confession, the punishment.

Excellent movie, well worth the money, with a few surprises.

Entertaining movie that also had an interesting look into addiction and the effects on all its victims. Acting was good and the storyline was interesting from beginning to end.

I went to see the movie with the expectation to see how an airline company finds out, after a plane crash, what really happened that made the plane lose its parts one by one until it crashes. I expected something more scientific and technical, especially when you get the impression, during the flight, that the pilot was very much in control, did not panic, had excellent skills and succeeded landing with limited loss of life. If the movie is based on a real story, then it was worth making it. But if the subject of the movie is alcoholism, they could have chosen a DIFFERENT FLIGHT (I mean without technical problems from the plane itself) Not very convincing. I am also disappointed in Denzel Washington; he is always HIMSELF, does not become almost not recognizable in his roles, like Sean Penn or Daniel D-Lewis, or even Leonardo Di Caprio.

Not a bad movie. Lots of talking and I found it a little draggy but interesting though.
