He is a tired, old Bassett Hound who should just lay down in front of the fire. Truly a leading man as he is just himself. I guess we really don't have much in the way of serious actors to replace him. Will Pitt, Damon, Affleck, be able to generate the gravitas to be our statesmen actors of the future?

...he reminds me of a Jimmy Stewart. It's not the gravitas or the range of his acting skills. The camera seems to see him as an 'everyman' who, but for the grace of fate and fortune, could be you or I. All he needs to do is play himself, and it works.

With all due respect to the good pilot, such miracle is not at all unusual, they happened quite a few times before. For instance, I was a boy (1963) when the Russian Tu-124 landed on Neva river.Too much drama in an American movie? You've got to be kidding! :)

they happened quite a few times before . . . when the Russian Tu-124 landed.
Thanks for the heads up. Remind me never to fly on a Russian airliner.
I once flew from Helsinki to St. Petersburg on a 737 that looked older than I am. Worn out carpets, broken seat backs, horrible smell in the lavatory, and a hot-rod pilot, who apparently LOVED flying and wanted all 4 passengers on board to know he could! He pushed the old bucket to its limit.
I dunno... but for some strange reason I enjoyed it. The pilot was in his early thirties and reminded me of myself, stupid as I was, but since I made it past 50... and then past 60, I presumed he was going too, so there was no fear at all.
BTW, that Tu-124 was a very sturdy little plane, a derivative of their Tu-16 nuclear bomber. :)
Not every Pilot can Glide that Plane manually.
I don't know if that plane was capable of automatic landing, but even if it was, it most definitely did not have the Hudson river routine.
The trick with such landing is in the angle. Too much nose down and the plane dives under the water, too little and you break off the tail.
...Now that's a miracle... :)
Yep... sometimes they do manage to do things right. :)

...like Hanks last two films, I expect it to be well done, very well acted but not very compelling since we all know the outcome.
Sully lives a few miles from me and the story has been repeated over and over here ad nauseum.
Neither of those guys is going to really offer anything new at this point, just (hopefully)
good film making/performances. Hanks is almost playing stereotypes at this point, but
damned if he doesn't do it really well and pull it off.
The surprise is how much he can squeeze out of an unsurprising character.
Eastwood can offer a great framework and (usually) a satisfying pace.

It will be a good film. I never loved an Eastwood made film especially recently. I really don't like to watch him act anymore and prefer his style before every character included the gruff thing , the gritting his teeth face move and his boring overly even keeled delivery of his lines.
Plenty of good from him but nothing much past 1980 to me.

Hanks is at the top of his game and Eastwood the Director not too distant from his.
