A remarkable movie about a real-life hero.

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2016)

Sully is a biopic about, pilot Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger(Tom Hanks). Sully & his First Officer Jeff Skiles(Aaron Eckhart) have no choice but, to land US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson river. This is due to a dual engine failure. Despite all of this, Captain Sully & First Officer Skiles saved the lives of all 155 passengers on-board the aircraft. This is due to Sully's last-minute unorthodox decision, to land the aircraft on the Hudson river. However, the aviation authorities question his decision.
Sully is a sensational film. Clint Eastwood has directed yet another masterpiece, after American Sniper(2014). The most fascinating aspect of this movie is that, it is based on a true story. The visual effects department has flawlessly depicted, how Captain Sully & First Officer Skiles made a successful emergency landing on the Hudson river. The fact that they shot several scenes at the actual locations, definitely solidifies the authenticity of the film. The background score by Christian Jacob & Tierney Sutton Band is subtle yet memorable. The performances are the highlight of the film. Tom Hanks steals the show as Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger. Hanks portrays Sully's subtle change in emotions throughout the movie, effortlessly. Aaron Eckhart is fantastic as Jeff Skiles. Eckhart adds a little bit of much needed wit to the film. Laura Linney is spectacular as Lorraine Sullenberger. Mike O'Malley, Jamey Sheridan & Anna Gunn are great as Charles Porter, Ben Edwards & Elizabeth Davis, respectively. The actors that played the passengers & crew of Flight 1539, are brilliant as well. Sully is a feel-good film. Go for it, immediately!
