Flight

Flight, starring Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle (2013) Rated R Flight ... [features] both an exquisitely terrifying crash sequence and a fearless central performance from Denzel Washington ... when a routine flight over Atlanta goes terrifyingly wrong, the aircraft's pilot (Washington) saves his passengers with a near-miraculous display of skill. As the investigation into the disaster begins, however, it becomes apparent that its hero's impromptu bravery hides a multitude of bad habits. ... the director's grasp of the material ... shifts between horror, black comedy, and uplifting pathos without missing a beat... --Andrew Wright.
