"This movie kinda depressed me. "

Sonia Barajas ♡

"Excellent performances, excellent storyline. Loved every bit of it "

"I know I say, “I drink and I watch things.” Denzel Washington drinks and flies planes here. Dumb jokes aside, I love this film. It’s a bummer in many ways but the story is strong and the cast is outstanding. Denzel does not do bad work. Ever."

Damien Scott

"A remarkable true story of a heroic pilot who must contend with his personal struggles and where to draw the line for accountability. Both a depiction of the talent of a man who was the best at his trade and the disappointing effects when the same man remains in denial of his addictions. Denzel delivers on both accounts and captivates the viewer enough to become invested in learning what it takes to finally address the bondage of dependency. "

Juliet Shalu Castillo

"Great movie. Denzel Washington should have won an Oscar for his performance. To me, he did a tremendous job. John Goodman is wonderful as well. Really great story. You will not regret watching this. "

"A sober reminder that the dude that currently has my life in his hands 36,000 feet above the ground may be on the verge.""

Sur Graham

"This is a movie I go back to. There is a scene at the end where the main character has to make a decision that I think impacts his very soul. Amazing acting and special effects. Love this movie"

"Denzel and John Goodman. Enough said."

"Terrible movie; it's almost shameful how Denzel was cast. An alcoholic with terrible relationships who sells out a woman he's involved with so he doesn't take the blame for an airplane crash? Nope!"

Edwand Rivers

"Terrible story of how a heroic act is completely forgotten when the powers that be aren't happy the man has a major character flaw. He only saved the lives of literally hundreds of people and is more capable of piloting while high than most are sober, but yeah let's make sure he *never gets to fly again* and let's ruin his livelihood forever because he has a substance abuse problem"
