Denzel Washington is a pilot with a substance abuse problem who happens to be piloting a jet when it suffers a catastrophic mechanical issue. Amazingly, he saves the plane, but now in the spotlight, can he save himself?
I should write copy for these people...
This is a dramatic film about substance abuse. Don't come into it thinking it's Top Gun, although the plane crash is pretty awesome.
Really solid film.

I forgot to mention that Ruxin's wife is in it, and does a full nude scene. It's not a flash either. She is blatantly posing.
Worth the price of admission.
If she had a gentler face (it's pretty, but has "bitch" written all over it), she'd be the new Salma Hayek.

Just link the video clip and that's all I need to see of the movie.Leisher wrote:I forgot to mention that Ruxin's wife is in it, and does a full nude scene. It's not a flash either. She is blatantly posing.

Good flick, although I didn't care for some elements of the ending.
I thought the ending was a bit predictable. They set that moment up earlier in the film.
There is another character in the film that was very well acted, but felt incomplete. I think you could have taken this person out of the script and really not miss anything.
Two things that really bugged me were the co-pilot (post crash) with his injuries and beliefs, and how they had 10 other pilots attempt the same thing and they all crashed. I'm not sure what the co-pilot symbolized. As for the other pilots, if they were told how to do it, someone should have succeeded.
I don't know how Denzel didn't get any award nominations for this film. He was awesome.

No, you need to see the plane crash too.

I thought Don Cheadle explained it extremely well. People died, and someone has to be responsible. He explained who the parties are that would be doing the finger pointing, who was on his side, who wasn't, etc.
At the end of the day, he was a hero, but he also broke laws. I thought the film did a nice job of explaining who shouldered the blame, both in the hearing and in the final scene.
