Box Office
Vadim Rizov quote icon Flight should at least soar into the black if people respond with good word-of-mouth, even if only for the novelty of a big-budget adult drama that aspires to intelligence.

Rolling Stone
Peter Travers quote iconFlight reminds us of what Washington can do when a role hits him with a challenge that would floor a lesser actor.

ScreenIt
C. Fuchs quote iconhe result is a pic that starts off with quite a bang but then becomes fairly dramatically inert despite a solid lead performance from the always terrific and easy to watch Washington.
