Flight (2012)

Troubling questions arise after airline pilot Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) makes a miracle landing after a mid-air catastrophe.

I would have sworn this movie had been posted before. Denzel Washington scored another best actor nomination for his role; it also stars Bruce Greenwood, Don Cheadle, Kelly Reilly, and John Goodman. It's definitely a Robert Zemeckis film, particularly with the ending, but the plane crash sequence is fairly riveting. Apparently, the incident in the film is based on a real crash in 2000. (Also apparently, this is extremely similar to a Cliff Robertson movie from the '70s.)

The plane crash is riveting. It totally grabs you. Rest not so much. I'm not sure the struggle with alcoholism translates well to film and this doesn't change my mind.
