Flight

Starring: Denzel Washington, Kelly Reilly
Director: Robert Zemeckis
Rating: ●●●○○ - Missing something

I was wondering what happended with Robert Zemeckis.
The Oscar Winner director of Forrest Gump (but also of Back to the Future) had not been directing a "traditional" movie since Cast Away with Tom Hanks in 2000, having switched to digital movies (The Polar Express, Beowulf, A Christmas Carol) in the mean time.
Now after 13 years Zemeckis returns back with Flight.
If you watched the trailers, this is not really the hi-adrenaline/catastrofic movie that may appear from the flight emergency landing scene.
Flight is the essentially the battle of a man against his addiction to alcool, skilfully interpreted by Denzel Washington and a story about fall and redention and about having a second chance.
A good movie overall that however appears to lack some flavour and intesity. You wonder what would this movie be if directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu (Amores Perros, Biutiful, 21 Grams, Babel).
