Flight (2012)


 The wait was long, but worth it! 

After being a few years "out of action", Robert Zemeckis came back to live-action cinema since the making of Cast Away (2000). 

Flight (2012), although not being in the same level of Zemecki's best work achievements (such as Back to The Future or Forrest Gump), it is still a very good film that makes good use of a terrific script - which examines a dark side of the human core - and includes a "tour de force" performance by the ever so good, Denzel Washington. 

I found it most entertaining and genuine, but above all, interesting and by the end moving... The human drama that lies beneth a troubled man facing an achool addiction might not be a new topic, but here, it certainly seemed like it with such a fresh approach.

With an all-star cast with actors like Kellie Reilly, Don Cheadle, John Goodman and Melissa Leo (despite most having small roles), I'm sure this is one for most to enjoy!
