Movies: Denzel is High as a Kite in 'Flight'

Flight-cockpit
Denzel loses control in FLIGHT

BY NATHANIEL ROGERS

YOUR FEATURE PRESENTATION

No one can fly a plane like Captain Whip (Denzel Washington). Unfortunately no one can drink like him either. Within the first fifteen or so minutes of Flight, the new drama from Robert Zemeckis (of Forrest Gump fame), Whip has already downed multiple vodkas, beers, and at least one line of coke. He's high before lift-off; this bender is all on the morning he's piloting 104 souls on a commercial aircraft to Atlanta.  

Whip gives drunk driving a whole new vertical meaning. 

Captain Whip's flight is, unfortunately, doomed. In the aftermath of the unusual crash (very well shot and edited -- a real armrest grabber and apparently it is possible to fly a plane inverted) Whip, his co-workers, multiple lawyers and moneyed executives are engaged in the very tense and very high-stakes legal battle as to the why the plane went down. 

"Why?" is an open ended question so let's ask a more specific one. Will Denzel win his sixth Oscar nomination?
