I love Van and CR pulling Bill in opposite directions in the opening scene/Latina/Salma Hayek conversation. Van wanted a full blown discussion and CR couldn't wait for the discussion to be over. Bill started on CR's side out of caution, moved to Van's side when he starts talking about top 5 Latinas, and then back to CR once he saw the rest of his career flash before his eyes.

The substance abuse part of this film is by far the best part of it, carried by Denzel of course. Without him it is a mediocre film with some great spots. But Denzel is magnificent. This films shows why he's one of the best ever.

I watched the movie the plane crash is unbelievable cinema. The use of Sweet Jane made me emotional. Thanks for reminding me about this movie. IThe hearing scene is some of the best acting in Denzel's career. That moment when he can't bring himself to stain the beautiful stewardesses reputation is the a bottom he can't touch and the beginning of his redemption. What a dramatic moment and he delivers it perfectly.

Strange. When Sympathy for the Devil came in, I immediately thought of Denzel in movie "Fallen" 1998. That got me thinking they use this song way to much.

The biggest nod to drug addiction is the entire movie is a crash from the initial high and sitting in the wreckage of it's set up. It's not all coke off strippers butts, it's stealing your mom's tv for crack money, it's drying out in rehab.

Perfect song choices by the way in the scene when he was passed out in the bathroom. They start off with Sympathy For The Devil when they are trying to wake him up. After he does the cocaine, it goes right to Feelin' Alright by Joe Cocker.

United 93 is rewatchable at least up until Ben Slinney says "That's it, we're finished" then almost everything that happened on the plane is conjecture from fragments heard on the airphone calls and what is heard on the radio. It's a great movie about ATC and military men and women trying to figure out what it going on. And so many of the military and ATC guys are cast as themselves. You listen to the actual ATC on 9/11 and you recognize the voices from the movie.

I know it's kinda immature, but I can't help but find Whip as a character just cool as hell. He sleeps with beautiful women, snorts a line, then not only saves a hundred lives, but does it in the coolest calmest way possible. And even at the end, he still takes accountability.
