Wonderful character development!

Pretty Good

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Very well done! The film is just like the real Sully himself (who always says he was just doing his job) - no fuss, no melodrama, no glorification of the man but just plain story telling that is absolutely entertaining. The film covers the actual events of Hudson landing, and then the aftermath of it all for Sully's career as a pilot and his reputation. The visuals and sound effects that take you through the events in the plane culminating in a Hudson landing are extraordinary. You really feel like you need to brace for impact! And this is while watching on Netflix. Must have been an amazing experience in the theatre. Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart are perfect in their roles. Rest of the cast did a great job too. Wonder how this film wasn't popular in the awards circuit. I mean here is an amazingly well told story of a remarkable man who did not panic under tremendous pressure, calmly made an excellent split second decision and saved so many lives and the Academy found nothing good in it? Cannot understand how they overlooked Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks and the film itself.

This true story is well known: plane crashes in river, everybody survives. Despite this miraculous succes the pilot Sully gets accused of reckless behaviour.No riveting actionscenes to be found in "Sully". No big drama's either. Director Clint Eastwood's movie is a slow burner, with good but not excellent acting. There are some touching emotional moments when everybody gets rescued and ofcourse it has got a feel good ending. All in all a warm nice movie depicting a fairytale of a true story.I must confess however, that I was constantly longing for the drama that "Flight" with Denzel Washington DID have, and "Sully" did NOT have. There could have been made a more intense and gripping movie about this wonderful story. Clint Eastwood played it too safe unfortunately. It certainly wont offend anyone, but it wont thrill either. It is just average feelgood stuff.Last detail worth mentioning is that in real life, pilot Sully revealed that a lot of pilots nowadays are in constant debt, while some of them even have to resort to foodstamps! When you fly what do YOU want? A rookie pilot with money problems or an experienced flightcaptain like Sully with a good salary? Flight companies are now testing planes WITHOUT any pilots at all. Bigger profits for sure. Better safety too?

This movie takes you as close to feeling what it was like to be on that flight as motion picture possibly can. A must-watch.
