Review of Sully (2016) by Amy A — 15 Oct 2016

So refreshing to see a movie depicting a hero who isn't a cartoonish Super Hero. I found this movie to be realistic, intelligent, and interesting. I don't need car chase scenes or explosions to hold my interest.

My favorite line of the movie was when the hotel maid hugged Sully, and he asked, "What just happened?" Most viewers wanted to throw tomatoes at the aviation panel and their witch hunt. What I wanted to see was all the people stand up and salute when it became apparent at the final hearing when it was proved, way beyond a shadow of a doubt, that no human being could have landed the plane at LaGuardia's runway.

I had to control myself not to stand up and cheer. The crash was not overplayed, thus, more tragic. The rescue scene was so very realistic without crocodile tears. Viewers could not but help to put themselves in their shoes.

Amazing.
