I mean its Denzel Washington, ain’t that enough of a reason? The GOAT baddass delivers once more in Flight, a 1/3 action, 1/3 drama and 1/3 ethical quandary movie. Denzel’s performance is nuanced and exquisite and the story has so many layers you’ll stay entranced. Definitely a movie to watch with friends so you can debate the many questions this movie brings up.

"Brace! Brace! Smart entertainment from Zemeckis, superior acting from DW."
