Great film!

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2016)

Director Clint Eastwood paired up with writer Tom Komarnicki (and cinematographer Tom Stern) and created a film worth watching. The cinematography is amazing, firstly we see close ups of a shy and calm Tom Hanks (portraying Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger) and the feelings arising at moments, the self-doubt but yet confidence of Mr. Sullenberger, and secondly, the airplane scenes with the highest attraction and convincing the audience that it really happened.
Although there's no question about whether Tom Hanks performed or not, you're never really disappointed in his acting and he added a star or two on my rating. What did disappoint me was the shallow and 'unnecessary' tension between the investigators and the pilots (Aaron Eckhart portrayed co-pilot Jeff Skiles). Why were they so upset with them? They saved the lives of 155 passengers, successfully landing on the Hudson River, and the plot was whether they could have managed to land on the runways of La Guardia or Teterboro. Instead they're questioning the probability of landing on 'natural place for planes' and shows simulations that everyone know is not the same as reality. I understand it's a film portraying part of a man's life and the incident as full, but somehow the tension wasn't attractive enough to convince me it's a higher rate than 7 out of 10 movie.
What was compelling though, was every scene with a plane captured the essence of the story. IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Everything was 100% believable. The landing on the river, the crashing into buildings etc., everything was done with great cinematography and VFX. There was never really a moment where you went "That didn't seem real at all" because everything was captivating and executed perfectly. For that and the actors performance, it's definitely worth watching.
