Interestingly enough, I find Sully impressively dull. It tries so hard to be the new American Ultimate Hero movie but fails abysmally.
Though based from real events and the narrative is pretty straightforward; the true story behind the miracle in the Hudson, though saved lives, should’ve remained on the news instead of making it a movie adaptation from the actual pilot himself. Yes yes he did an amazing job through his quick wits and his experience but that wasn’t enough justification to have it on the big screen.
It doesn’t even warrant a nomination for Tom Hanks, it’s not his fault; the whole thing is not enough for Hanks to give us an exemplary performance.
And it’s pretty clear that Clint Eastwood has a thing going on right now that forces all of us to admire Americans in all their American glory and it’s starting to make me feel sick.
It has all the right intentions but no, we didn’t ask for this movie.
Grade: 3 Stars
