2012
I wanted to like this movie. Who doesn’t love Denzel? But, by the end of it, I was exhausted.
First,
I think there was too much hype leading up to the release (I saw it opening
day.). I’ve been disappointed before in movies that have received a lot of
advertising. C’mon a plane flying upside down and its wing clips the steeple of
a lone church in a field where parishioners are outside the sanctuary and get
showered with debris? We’ve probably all seen that trailer. That might have
been one of the only good scenes in the movie.
I was
exhausted by the end because it’s tiring to watch someone seriously in denial
about drinking themselves to death. Coupled with a ton of smoking and I was
hacking and felt like I had a hangover by the time it ended. The amount of
alcohol Denzel consumed was unbelievable, but perhaps I’m just naïve that
anyone could walk let alone fly a plane with that much drugs and alcohol in
their system.
I say
save your $$$ and see it on DVD if you must.
