Sully Film Review

Finished watching Sully, directed by Clint Eastwood and staring Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart and Laura Linney. The film opens with pilots Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger (Tom Hanks) a few days after he landed the US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River as he and his copilot Jeffrey Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) are under investigation for what had happened to cause the plane to land on the river. While the media continue to parse Sully as a hero for landing the plane without any casualties. Overall this was a good film as it dives into the life of pilot Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger during the inquest of Flight 1549 when it landed on the Hudson River in 2009. The actors put in some great performances as the relationships between the characters feel very real as the interactions between Sully and his wife Lorraine (Laura Linney) help to build upon Sully's character. The is a great amount of tension builded throughout the film form the whole inquest even with the scenes inside the plane itself as even though the film is based on true events it doesn't take away the amount of tension and the captivating scenes within the film. 7.5/10.
