[Quick Summary: After an intoxicated pilot lands a billion-to-one flight, he boils over as questions abound.]
I can see why Denzel wanted to play the pilot, Whip.
Whip doesn't take responsibility.
He doesn't have tough conversations or relationships. He either walks away, or reaches for the bottle.
But after he saves a flight while high, he cannot hide. His coping mechanisms no longer work.
I liked that the script is really hard on Whip.
It was so satisfying to see him face everything he's avoided.
WHAT I'VE LEARNED: I respect characters who earn their victories.
