| Denzel Washington as pilot Whip Whitaker |
The pairing of two
Oscar® winners i.e. director Robert Zemeckis and actor Denzel Washington made
for an explosive combination for “Flight” and may have sealed the way for
another big “O” trophy for either or both come spring. Washington puts his
stamp on this role so convincingly that you can’t help but believe he “is” Whip Whitaker the pilot who made a
miraculous crash landing that very few pilots could do.

| Whip and Nicole (Kelly Reilly) |
His lovely co-star Kelly Reilly who plays recovering heroin addict Nicole Maggen, his on screen love interest, is equally on point, delivering the dramatic goods with the right intensity in the right places. The jet crash scene is as intense and believably real as it gets. Zemeckis pays such close attention to the smallest details of a plane nose diving. He places the viewers dead center in the cockpit and allows them to experience the horror that the passengers and crew are going through in the cabin in such a realistic way you might sweat your seat. Great movie!
****Excellent! (Ride In The Front 1st
