Flight is an exhilarating movie that will take you through so many stages, from being in awe, to laughter, to being sad and then being happy. Washington is not alone as he has a great supporting cast in Don Cheadle, John Goodman, Kelly Reilly and Bruce Greenwood. Even though most are cameo roles, they stand out with brilliant performances by all. This is definitely one of this years best movies that is well worth the admission.
