Review of Flight (2012) by Dylan D — 09 Sep 2013
Flight is a remarkable picture starring arguably the most talented actor of the past two-plus decades and directed by one of Hollywood's best, a man who understands the ins-and-outs of the human drama as well as any filmmaker alive, evidenced by such masterpieces as Forrest Gump, Cast Away, and now Flight.
The film is perfectly acted and flawlessly written. Its ability to tell a story in which the audience hopes for inaction rather than action makes it a unique and highly satisfying human interest tale about a very personal struggle with demons and an effort to avoid the bright spotlight of modern media and, more importantly, the reflection in the mirror and the tell-tale signs of a soul in peril.
The film ends beautifully, summing up the experience in a single question and the first step towards an answer. This is one of 2012's finest, a picture that's grossly under-represented on the list of Oscar nominees.
