Review of Sully (2016) by Dann M — 01 Apr 2017
From Clint Eastwood comes Sully, the extraordinary true story of an airliner that made an emergence water landing on the Hudson River. They story follows Captain Chesley Sullenberger in the wake of his miraculous landing as he wrestles with whether or not he made the right decisions and faces a board of inquiry.
Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, and Laura Linney lead the cast and deliver solid performances. And, Eastwood does a good job at making the dramatic scenes intense and exciting (particularly the crash/landing).
But the script is rather thin and stretches to meet a 90 min. runtime; going so far as to replay the landing several times. Yet despite its script problems, Sully is a compelling story of heroism.
