Saw this trailer today and it looks pretty damn cool.

Well, my wife really wanted to see this movie. I did a little
pecking around and it is getting good reviews. I still am not a
fan of paying good money to watch drama on the big screen. I
keep telling myself compromise.
Yes, flight is a drama and it's about addiction. It is not any
kind of action movie like the trailer might suggest.
I found watching Flight difficult. It's not uplifting. In fact
it's watching a man spiral into oblivion. Denzel Washington
always does a great job and yes this is another great
performance. But it's a performance about a very difficult
situation. The complexity of the scenario is constantly brought
to our attention, by Denzel's character, because he's defending
his life and lying his ass off. It affects everyone around him.
I was pretty amazed at how Don Cheadle, as the defending lawyer,
also does a great job... at being a stereotypical douchebag of a
lawyer. You want to root for him, but his actions are pretty
slimy too.
I see this is getting good vibes and reviews from around the
net, and I get it. But I found the 2+ hour movie not very fun
and I'll probably never watch it again.

This is definitely on my radar, but it's not something screaming
as a must-see-on-a-big-screen flix. I can and will wait for this
to hit DVD.
