PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"It’s the first film in over a decade by director Robert Zemeckis that guarantees originality, tempo and thrills (...) The first 20 minutes of 'Flight' is one of the hairiest nonstop action sequences ever filmed" (Rex Reed: The New York Observer)

----------------------------------------
"A gritty, full-bodied character study (...) this absorbing drama provides Denzel Washington with one of his meatiest, most complex roles" (Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter)
----------------------------------------
"'Flight' is Washington's show, and he's marvelous in it. But Zemeckis and his team put everything in place so that Washington could run with it, with unnervingly good results (...) Puntuación: **** (sobre 4)" (Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune)

----------------------------------------
"'Flight' is neither a simple story of heroism, nor one of a fallen hero. Things are more complex than that -- and it is its complexities that make the film all the more rewarding an experience (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of five)" (Steven Rea: Philadelphia Inquirer)

----------------------------------------
"A film of individually fine scenes that at best add up to a good, but not a great, movie" (Lou Lumenick: New York Post)

----------------------------------------
"Not often does a movie character make such a harrowing personal journey that keeps us in deep sympathy all of the way. (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"[Denzel Washington's] detailed, depth-charged, bruisingly true performance will be talked about for years. (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"A titanic Denzel Washington (...) The shock is how deep Mr. Zemeckis and Mr. Washington journey into the abyss and how long they stay there." (Manohla Dargis: The New York Times)
