The Content is better than the movie

Rating: 6/10 (10 December 2016)

Not sure I understand the positive reviews this movie gets. Or maybe I do: it rides on Eastwood's talent as a director and Hanks' talent as an actor. Yes "Sully" does offer some nice visuals, good directing - there is no denying Clint Eastwood is a great director. Similarly, Hanks' portrayal as Sully is good - no denying this.
But this movie is far from being the best from both of them. The story ends abruptly and easily - making the whole plot seem a little shaky to begin with. And Hanks is a cool composed pilot. And that's basically it.
The landing scenes are impressive and there's no denying the story of the miracle on the Hudson is worth telling...but it feels like this could have been a 30 minute documentary. Not sure the movie actually builds anything worth rewatching several times.
