The man going down, down, down is Whip
Whitaker. Played by a titanic Denzel Washington, he’s a veteran
commercial pilot whose greatest vocation should be his flying but, for
this and that reason, has become his drinking. Whip doesn’t drink to
excess and quietly fade, he stumbles, shouts, flails, blacks out. Mr.
Zemeckis, directing his best movie since “Cast Away”
(2000), about a different kind of disaster, makes you see that Whip is a
beautiful indulger, as does the erotically hyped up Mr. Washington,
with his switchblade strut and aviator shades. As crucially, they also
show you the ugly, mean, angrily unrepentant drunk, the one whose
sunglasses hide bloodshot eyes and who, when he passes out on the floor,
needs someone to tilt his head so he doesn’t choke on his own vomit.
The story, by the screenwriter John Gatins,
turns on a crash that takes place soon after the movie opens. During a
hop from Orlando, Fla., to Atlanta in a bad storm, a catastrophic event
occurs. Whip manages to land the plane, but after saving others, begins
losing himself. His unraveling brings on mood swings, rock oldies and a
genre sampler, with the movie shifting from thriller to romance, family
melodrama, legal drama and bitterly delivered inspirational tract. The
calamity stirs up a mystery what did Whip do, and was he sober when he
did it? feeding the inquiry and his relationships, including with a
drug addict (the lyrically melancholic Kelly Reilly); his son (a fine
Justin Martin); a friend (a blustery John Goodman); and a lawyer (Don
Cheadle, doing a lot with little).
Even more than the plane crash in “Cast
Away” (about a survivor, played by Tom Hanks, marooned on an unpopulated
island), the accident in “Flight” is freakishly real; it’s one of those
big screen nightmares that will inspire fear-of-flying moviegoers to
run home and Google car rental deals and Greyhound schedules. It’s a
showstopper, with thrashing inverted bodies amid sickening screams and
engine noises. The coordinated chaos makes a sharp contrast with the
movie’s equally pivotal low-key opener, which introduces Whip as he
groggily wakes in a hotel room, swigs some booze and leers at the naked
woman, Katerina (Nadine Velazquez), bent over next to him. It’s
initially amusing to see Mr. Washington, who excels at square-jaw
decency, getting down and dirty.
