'Sully': The unsulliable Sullenberger . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on September 9, 2016 at 15:54:07:
Damn near a docudrama about a captain and flight officer ditching in the drink and not losing a single soul. Hanks portrayed Sullenberger as a near humorless man who was precise about everything and conveyed little to no emotion. Hanks did an excellent job of crawling out of his own skin.

The film takes us through the crash, PTSD, and near brutal NTSB investigation. Somebody (government) wanted to blame someone for ruining an Airbus and they chased after Sully like hounds at the hunt. Eckart was definitely second-banana in this drama and played it as such. Laura Linney appeared in flashes to portray the anxious wife and had little screen time.

There are a few tense moments during the replay of the ditching but not so many as to make this a real "drama". Clint nearly made a documentary out of this and the film is surprisingly short. It has an almost premature ending but the story was over.

Don't run out for you vehicle unless you want to miss some footage of the real peeps at a reunion of sorts. As usual, Hanks films are like hot coffee and apple pie -- every American has to take time to get some. This is no different. While not wildly enthused it probably is worth a sit to feel like there are some American heroes here and there.
