Review of Sully (2016) by Andrea R — 20 Dec 2017

I start by saying that this isn't the best real-life-based movie I've seen, but this one performs his function of informing people about this extraordinary event: in February 2009, Chelsey Sullemberg, a on the way to retire pilot managed to save more than 150 people by landing on the Hudson river.

The film begins with Sully that is considered as a national hero, but he does reject this fame, because he's in trouble with the law: computer sims show that he could have landed on near airports without losing any life.

But at the court, Sully and his co-pilot and friend Jeff suggest that the 35 secs delay of radio communications should be added to the sims and after that, the computer shows that if Sully hadn't landed on the Hudson, the plane would have crashed.

As this movie is directed by Clint Eastwood, I expected more. I mean that some flashbacks are too long so the story is in some ways broken. Beside this, Tom Hanks' acting was convincing and the whole story make sense (trust me, it isn't ever like this).

So all in all I consider "Sully" an interesting general-culture movie, and I suggest him to guys that have never heard about this extraordinary hero.
