Interesting dramatisation of a real-life event

Rating: 7/10 (17 January 2017)

This is not exactly the kind of film you get excited by the prospect of going to see; it's basically a dramatic documentary. However, it's directed by Clint Eastwood and stars Tom Hanks, so that's normally enough to warrant a look.
The film is about an incident in 2009 where a pilot had to make a water-landing on the Hudson River after both of his engines gave out. The film shows us what happened during the flight (from multiple points-of-view), as well as the investigation afterwards.
If you like films like Apollo 13, then you'll probably enjoy this too (not just because of the Tom Hanks connection). I don't have a lot to say about it other than I found it reasonably enjoyable. It also compelled me to seek out actual documentaries of the event.
