Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but you're saying you didn't like one of the better movies from last year simply because it didn't have a happy ending?
That's kind of why I liked it.

I normally welcome non-standard/unhappy endings. I just felt like the movie was really painful to watch - and at some point the ending became pretty predictable. Plus the whole prison scene where he talks about trading freedom for sobriety seems contrived to me. I'm not saying it was a bad movie - just that I didn't particularly enjoy it.
I like that he didn't throw his eff buddy under the bus.
The problem I have was that yeah, I am sure there are colored pilots.
The other takeaway I got was that I need to do blow when I am hungover.
Yeah his bang and another fa died and the curly haired negress broke her collarbone and the copilot religious nut bounced his face off the yoke.
If would have been cool if Denzel died in the crash and the credits then rolled. Troll the American people in this dire economy with a shit ass movie.
