Review of Sully (2016) by Mattbrady99 — 25 Dec 2016
"I've had 40 years in the air but in the end, I'm going to be judged by 208 seconds.”.
The story of "Sully" may not be an exiting one on paper, but it's take on heroism and false judgment is quite compelling. Tom Hanks & Aaron Eckhart both deliver a powerful performance that was so down to earth. I don't think the movie would've worked without those two. They literally carry this movie and the best scenes come from them.
Clint Eastwood manages to take a basic story and make into something effectively thrilling. Even if I don't agree with everything decision (film making wise) Eastwood made in this movie, but his heart and mind was in the right place.
The movie has it's flaws. Like the 9/11 imagery and dream sequences wasn't really needed. It felt force and kinda thrown in at the least minute, because of how short the movie is. And that's really it for issues.
I think it's worth checking out for Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart outstanding performances, which might be their best.
