Yes has nothing to Do with the booze or self loathing. He does not want to blame a dead Women whom he liked respected and had relations with for the booze he drank. He rather fess up and own up to it then disrespect a dead Women who died trying to save a boy if I remember the movie right.

[@jakeguy6050]

I kind of disagree. Cheadle wasnt trying to help him. He was trying to save himself. Washington knew that and got pissed at himself that he thought about throwing an innocent person under the bus. He just got pissed at how selfish people (him and Cheadle) are.

[@TheFinalsTV]

You could argue that the alcohol really did enhance his performance. In a situation like that covered in anxiety, the alcohol might've given him the edge he needed. Interesting.

This movie doesn’t get anywhere near the amount of recognition it deserves. It’s a perfect demonstration of how destructive addictions can be, and it reminds viewers that anyone can be an addict, even those who hold professions we in society see as most worthy of our trust. It also shows how high functioning some addicts can be. The acting is superb, the script is excellent. The ending is perfect. Everything about this movie is just so well executed.

Denzel Washington is beyond amazing he is literally almost perfect 🥰 💞 I love all his movies, especially Training Day

Bruce Greenwood and Don Cheadle make great secondary actors in this film directed by Robert Zemeckis

This comment seems over descriptive for some reason.

Roger B Bruce Greenwood and Don Cheadle should do another movie with underrated actors

This sounds like a tweet from Magic Johnson

Uh, I'm not gonna lie. I have no clue wtf is going on here, but seeing these 2 Hollywood titans argue in a convincing manner sure warms my soul. 2 Goats.

The way he approaches him after being called a scumbag lol

Eamon McGillicuddy hey look it’s basher

[@mxtorres30]

I’ve been a heavy drinker for a few years and one thing I’ve learned is that alcohol can be useful when you want to improvise and bullsh-t your way out of anything. So what Denzel did to save that plane , I can totally understand. Being a drunk of course

Two POWER Houses going toe- to-toe !

[@maxdondada]

This is such an underrated movie and performance

[@talesfromthetrip]

1:48 - Definitely had some Ray Liotta Goodfellas inspiration. The scene where he's saying "we're dead" to Karen.

[@stephenfulbright9772]

Denzel played a fantastic drunk, despite never drinking!

[@CharlieBrown20XD6]

This movie is good but goddamn it made the "I'm actually a BETTER driver when I'm drunk" crowd even more smug and annoying.

[@briannewman532]

This movie has one of the finest acting performances in the history of the art. It is a shameful disgrace that Denzel did not win the best actor award for this. It invalidates the entire awards program.

[@thickheart28]

2:13 how Denzel would be in a Vietnam movie

[@IcedCoffeeHotTakes]

this movie is incredible from beginning to end. I argue one of his better performances.
