Misleading title. "Flight" would be better titled, "Drunk", or something like it. As a pilot and aviation fan, I went for the flying I expected and Denzel Washington. Denzel came through and about five minutes of film was some great flying scenes/script. But I was surprised the film was really the dramatic morphing of the main character played by Denzel. More reminiscent of movies from the 50's and 60's (except for the sleazed-up and largely unnecessary sexual and language detours) where dialogue and drama ruled. But the story is good and, hopefully, sobering, if you pardon the pun.
