Sully

About This Movie

Sully, directed by Clint Eastwood, is a tense portrayal of the 2009 Hudson River landing. The film's tone oscillates between the tension of the flight and the subsequent investigation, creating a sense of urgency throughout. Tom Hanks delivers a solid performance as Captain Sullenberger, capturing his calm resolve amidst chaos. Eastwood's use of practical effects during the landing scenes adds a layer of realism that keeps you on edge. The pacing, especially in the flashbacks, gives depth to Sully's character and the weight of his choices. It’s interesting how the film explores themes of heroism versus scrutiny, making you question perceptions of an ordinary man thrust into the spotlight. Not your typical biopic, that's for sure.
