The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
This absorbing drama provides Denzel Washington with one of his meatiest, most complex roles, and he flies with it.

Time - Richard Corliss
A canny director and a top star decided to dig deep to find the core of a compromised hero. And when they reach that center of gravity, Flight soars.

New York Magazine (Vulture) - David Edelstein
No actor is as brilliant, or as cunning, as Denzel Washington at portraying superhuman coolness and the scary prospect of its loss.

Slant Magazine - Unnamed
A unique, audacious studio movie, kicking off as a star-driven spectacle before whittling itself down to a raw and riveting character study.
