Famed Director Robert Zemeckis is at it again with this edgy material called Flight. Headlining this nerve shattering, but touching flick about heroism, notoriety and it\u2019s pitfalls coupled with corporate greed, is Denzel Washington playing the role of Captain \u201cWhip\u201d Whittaker whose quick thinking has him hailed as a hero by the media for saving passenger\u2019s lives when a mid-air disaster strikes. His short-lived fame swiftly changes when his private life struggles come to light and he quickly finds himself on the defensive, for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n
Needless to say, Washington\u2018s grounded performance is spectacular in scope and unparallel in depth. He, as one would expect from the veteran multi- Academy Award winner, maintains the audience\u2019s sympathy without sugarcoating \u201cWhip\u2019s\u201d nasty side. Zemeckis and Washington do not seem to be afraid to let Washington\u2019s character be unlikeable and somewhat repulsive whilst risking the audiences scorn. They are upfront and extremely candid about the fact that \u201cWhip\u201d is a terrible husband, father, employee, and friend with substance abuse as his modus-operandi. It is a very telling and compelling way to gain the audience\u2019s confidence in the material and subject matter addressed in the movie.
