Eastwood's finest work

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2019)

This is a sophistically-constructed movie with some very complex storytelling. Lots of flashbacks and discontinuity. If the incident weren't se well-known, this would be a very difficult movie to follow.
But the notoriety of the incident is also what makes the complex screenplay so necessary. A straight, linear telling would be inappropriate.
It's easy to say this movie pushes all the right buttons with its feel-good ending - as it should. This is a celebration of a remarkable event.
The one odd thing is how there is virtually no mention of lives on the ground that would have been at risk had he attempted to land anywhere but the hudson.
