The best movies concerning addiction are about the characters and not the Problem. Flight is about the Problem.

At a certain point, great actors want to show us the truth of something that may be far from their lives but that somehow they understand, intimately, all too well.

It succeeds as a carefully balanced cocktail of uppers and downers, of the type favored by its hero. You'll have a good night out, even if you don't remember it in the morning.

Zemeckis has enough control as a filmmaker to overshadow Flight's structural problems, thus making the film both crowd-pleasing and emotionally involving.

Not since Paul Greengrass sat us in coach for his 9/11 drama United 93 has a filmmaker so effectively summoned up the primal fears that, for the less air-worthy of us, lurk beneath every lurch, every "fasten your seat belts" warning.

'Flight' is predictable in its plotting and soft in its conclusions. But thanks to that dynamite opening and Washington's effortless performance, it's also an enjoyable, compelling slice of old-school melodrama.

Flight is a well-made motion picture, but not a fun or entertaining one.

Between Washington's singular performance and Zemeckis' extraordinary direction, "Flight" sees one of the more revelatory actor/director combinations in recent memory.

This is Washington's movie from beginning to end, and full of little layers.

An ordinary drama about addiction and recovery, made somewhat noteworthy by Denzel Washington's firing-on-all-cylinders performance.

Denzel Washington gives one of his most nuanced and impressive performances.
