Viewing Notes

A nice return to live action film making for Zemeckis. The plane crash is a harrowing experience on film, amazingly well done.

Denzel is the primary reason to watch the movie though. His character embodies a conflicting aspects of most people, something you don’t see represented in Hollywood films much.
