Flight

               This film was a first class ticket to heaven. I have said before it seems Denzel Washington always (it seems) needs to be black. See Malcolm X, Remember the Titans and even his Glory days. My only African American editor agreed with me. “It works!” she proclaimed! He portrays our race well. 

Now with this film added to his queue, he could even be called the Mother Teresa of cinema. If you have not seen this film. Then see it you won’t be offended. I highly recommend seeing this film more than once. 

           The spotlight award in this film goes to John Goodman. He portrays the next-door neighbor / best friend character that provides Whip Whitaker (Washington) the liquor, cocaine combination that is a a key charter in screenpaly. Goodman has come a long way since his sitcom daze and in this film should earn him an Oscar. (He wont be nominated!) 

             This flight film takes off from the beginning and never descends. Don Cheadle is excellent in this film as well. He portrays the top-notch lawyer  given to Whitaker from the start. As the story pans out it is clear that he is no stranger the world of drugs and drug abuse. 

           You should be no stranger to the theater. This film is worth the ticket price. It may be hard too find however it ha been out six weeks and some new 3D Hobbit forming  prequel just hit the marketplace.
