Our take on Sully

Clint Eastwood's 2016 drama reconstructs the "Miracle on the Hudson," when Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger set his crippled airliner down on the river in January 2009, sparing all 155 people aboard. Rather than dwell only on the landing, Eastwood follows the investigation that questioned whether the veteran pilot made the right call, weighing public acclaim against professional scrutiny. It's a measured, procedural piece more interested in competence and self-doubt than spectacle, anchored by a quiet central performance. Viewers who appreciate restrained, fact-based dramas about ordinary professionals under pressure, and who prefer character study to action, will find plenty to admire in its understated, adult approach.
