Not perfect, but a good drama from director Eastwood

Rating: 7/10 (16 September 2016)

Basically, I'm skeptical of such films. Filming of actual events, like Sully is about. The film is about Chesley Sullenberger, the pilot who managed to land a plane in the Hudson River. But I gave it a shot. This is a low-key film, and the events are not made in chronological order. But this actually makes the film work better than expected. Clint Eastwood uses good actors like Tom Hanks, to tell the story from different angles. Tom Hanks manages to give Hero Sully depth and insight on several levels. Including how it is to suddenly come into focus for the whole world. I thought the film was a little unexciting the first half hour, but Eastwood manages to tell this story thoroughly. And the film picked up and I was engaged by it. Do not expect great action scenes, the film the film is actually a good drama about a man and his great accomplishment.
