A story stuck in a holding pattern

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2018)

Sully is an inspiring movie about a real American hero. However, for the majority of the time, this film feels like it's in a holding pattern (pun intended). It circles around the same plot points with no real sense of progress until the end. Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Aaron Eckhart's mustache and the rest of the supporting cast all give strong performances, though, and the scenes with the crash are pretty powerful. It was easy for me to like this movie, but I didn't love it.
