Director fumbled this one

Rating: 4/10 (17 December 2016)

This is like a 5.7 out of 10 type of movie but I'm going round down to a 4 out of 10 on the official score because the current score of 7.6 is complete tomfoolery. Not sure why, what should be a drama is coming off as a bad Saturday Night Live episode . This is my first time watching a film directed by Clint Eastwood and I must say, I am seriously disappointed. We all know this is a compelling story and the actors involved have amazing acting clops but this comes off as a frat boy movie or something. You have Tom Hanks playing the straight laced, by the book dude and Aaron Eckhart playing his party animal side kick or something. What should have been a drama turns into the wacky adventures of an old goat and his crazy wingman bro with an epic mustache. But yeah, they really dropped the ball concerning the real story of Sully Sullenberger. After the whole "miracle on the Hudson" deal Sully heavily advocated for pilots rights and fare pay. Most people don't know this but some pilots get paid so little that they actually qualify for food stamps. Anyway, this movie is subpar and not as good as it could have been if a more competent director was on the scene.
