One of my favorite actors is Denzel Washington. I think I’ve seen everything he’s been in, except for a couple where the story line didn’t interest me.
My girlfriend and I decided to see his latest movie, Flight. In the trailers, they only talk about alcohol being in his blood stream. So ok, people drink – I’d hate to have a pilot boozing it up while he’s flying a plane that I’m in.
So anyway – we get in the movie theater just as the previews are coming on. After 20 minutes of previews, the movie started.
Please note: I am not a prude. I understand that people drink.
The first scene – he’s in bed with a woman, he gets a phone call, she gets up – completely nude and you see everything, and she drinks and smokes marijuana. After the phone call, Denzel drinks from a beer bottle and takes a hit of heroin or cocaine.
Once on the plane – he drinks more. At this point I’m not sure why I’m sitting there, since it’s not a very interesting movie.
I won’t give away anymore – but the profanity starts very quickly and it’s f… this and f… that. And lots of drug dealing and drug taking with other characters.
After paying $6.50 for a ticket and $11.50 for snacks – I ought to have been watching a movie that was interesting.
Both my girlfriend and I got up and left. It was about 25-30 minutes into the movie. We asked for and got our money back for the tickets.
I have never been so disappointed and disgusted in a movie that Denzel Washington was in.
This is fair warning – yes it’s R rated, but I’ve seen very good R rated movies without all the stuff that was in this one!
Maybe I should stick to PG13
