Pretty close to exemplary

Rating: Null/10 (8 February 2019)

Tom Hanks delivers a beautiful performance (again). Clint Eastwood aids and abets with his usual light touch style and the story speaks strongly for itself. It's pretty much a text book example of how to make a film without needing too much in the way of flash and bang to get the point across. My only nit-pick is that Laura Linney as Sully's wife has a ridiculously under-developed role and I don't remember her even sharing a scene with her husband - they speak on the phone for the majority of the film, it seems.
