Saw Robert Zemickis’ #Flight. Actors!
#Flight. The plane crash!
#Flight. Zemeckis’ films often flip between clarity & overly. Here, w’ those awful, overused musical cues, it’s decidedly the former.
#Flight. Razzles plenty, but it’s also good on the hard & the slow. Denzel W. is a one man melodrama: …
… good guy & bad guy, heroism & degradation all in one.
#Flight. Not only great on the agonies of addiction, but on the long hard roads of repentance. That “God help me!” …
… makes for a climax similar to, worthy of Frank Borzage’s great salvation parable, Strange Cargo.
#Flight. Heads-up, correspondents: this film deserves its rating.
