Review of Sully (2016) by Vreynauld — 11 Sep 2016
It pains me to give such a middling score to a movie which Tom Hanks so masterfully carries but that's the problem: Tom Hanks has to carry the whole movie. The film spends a ridiculous amount of time on the investigation of Sully and that entire part of the film feels like it was ripped straight out of the script from Denzel Washington's similar film, "Flight". Other than Hanks' performance, the effects do help keep the movie from being a complete bore. All in all, it's a fictionalized biopic with drama of a situation we already know the resolution to and manufactured "drama" for the sake of creating artificial suspense.
"Sully" is a solid Blu-ray rent or buy but not worth paying the inflated theater costs to see.
