“Flight”

Denzel Washington stars as Whip Whitaker, a seasoned airline pilot who miraculously crash lands his plane after a mid-air catastrophe. After the crash, he is hailed as a hero. But questions arise as to who was at fault for what happened on the plane.

n The buzz: Although the film may be flawed and too long for some viewers, Washington’s performance keeps “Flight” from crashing.
