no one could've landed that plane like i did (c) whip
beyond the heroics, brash arrogance, or even the charm of this film lies an underlying theme more powerful than the trailer implies. while the movie opens with quite a few dynamic visuals (thank you, nadine velazquez), it eventually unfolds to show the life of a man in complete denial.
the media calls him a hero, but the investigation about the crash reveals quite a few troubling details about whip. the bottom line is that the plane was damaged and ultimately suffered a catastrophic failure, much like the life of its pilot.
solid performances from all involved. it would've been nice to see don & denzel really go toe-to-toe, but the film still delivers.
