Flight - Movie Review of The Way, the Truth and the Life
Last night we rented Robert Zemeckis' film Flight, a peerless character study of an alcoholic airline pilot which featured a dazzling performance by Denzel Washington. The reviews and reviewers are split. Those who wanted an action movie and special effects got more than they bargained for. :
Here's a good, brief review:
A knockout that soars. An absolutely riveting and unforgettable masterpiece. Director, Robert Zemeckis crafts one of his most nuanced and extremely capable films ever, its certainly one his finest films as a director. A bold, strong and very powerful movie that has a deep and emotional story along with incredible character development. Especially on Washington's character, it shows his struggle to contain his addiction and what is left of his damaged soul. Denzel Washington gives of of his best performances ever, it surely one for the books and that will be talked about for years. A commanding and brilliant performance. Kelly Reilly is excellent. John Goodman is terrific. Bruce Greenwood and Don Cheadle are fantastic. A nail-biting and powerful thriller that will keep you in the edge of your seat. It delivers big with suspense, a great soundtrack and deeply compelling human drama. An amazing movie. A spectacular and tremendously entertaining film.
God has favored me with a ministry to men, discussed elsewhere on this blog. This film brings a lot of things together for me: alcoholism, evil, pride, a culture of lies, and the moment of truth that brings the Way, the Truth and the Life together to save a soul. I've heard this story so often, yet it is always inspiring. As Denzel Washington's character approaches the "moment of truth", I almost whispered to my wife "Here comes the truth".
