Sully is based on the true incident of Captain Chesley Sullenberg landing a plane on the Hudson river due to double engine failure and is based on the autobiography Highest Duty. The movie traces the investigation of the incident that followed the crash.
The movie has a brisk pace about it which you do not find in most of Clint Eastwood directed movies. The events unfold so fast that you may miss the essence of a scene if you even blink for a second. The movie is amazing to say the least and the best part about the movie are its dialogues and its screenplay. Even though there is not much happening in the movie, it is the dialogues which take the movie ahead. Even the way in which the movie is made with flashbacks acting as a way to take the story ahead is brilliant. The movie comes forward as both a drama and slight thriller which captures your imagination. The movie's duration of 90 minutes makes the movie go by fast. A pat on the backs of the editors as they have done a fine job.
Tom Hanks as Captain Sullenberg is first rate. He acts out the character with ease and you don't for a second think that you are watching Tom Hanks. Aaron Eckhart is also very good in a supporting role as the co-pilot of the crash. These are the two actors who remain with you after the movie and I must say it is a job well done.
Clint Eastwood, as I have already said, has directed the movie very well. Mixing both drama with thrills, he has been able to engage you like never before. At times Clint Eastwood's movies do appear to be a bit draggy, but this one is not one of those. The ending scene of the movie is also superb and the way he has ended the movie is commendable, as other directors may have had the urge to shoot one more scene before the end of the movie, which would have been a waste of time.
Overall watch the movie for its good screenplay and acting. A full thumbs up for the movie.
Rating - 3.5 / 5
