Review of Sully (2016) by Brian A — 08 Jan 2017

I love a good plane movie, and when it's based on a real life event, well it was always going to make my 'want to see' list. And Sully didn't disappoint. In fact, it well and truly exceeded my expectations.

I admittedly was a little naive and whilst I had heard about the infamous plane landing in the Hudson, I never really unearthed any further detail than just that. This made the whole story quite new and fascinating and I found myself surprisingly captivated with what I would normally find quite boring - the investigative side of the story.

Tom Hanks, as always, is superb - he can practically do no wrong in my eyes, and even the brief glimpse you get of the original Sully at the end of the pic validates how well Hanks captured him. The other thing that makes this movie so good, is it doesn't drag on.

It's short and sweet, and not crammed full of unnecessary 'filler'.
