Great depiction of heroic story

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2016)

I was excited when this movie came out on BluRay and I was able to get it at RedBox. It looks like some people did not like this movie at all but I did. I was left with a good feeling and restored faith in mankind. Clint Eastwood did a great job in his direction of this flick. The "dream state" scenes were worked into the story line very, very well and wasn't hard to follow as it did not distract from the story but instead drew me more into the story. I know some people dispute the interrogation of the NTSB and government agencies and whether it happened exactly like the movie shows or not it is very true that the people in power do like to put you on the spot and play devil's advocate just like this movie shows. It also does a good job of how the title "Hero" can be more troublesome for some than others. Tom Hanks does a great job as Sully as he was able to convey the emotional struggles somebody who has gone through this might endure. His facial expressions were powerful as was that of Aaron Eckhart's Jeff Skiles. I know people didn't appreciate the side story of Sully's family because they felt it was shallow but that was not the plot or story line. The movie touched on that but did not dwell on it so it did not take away from the main theme of the movie. Bravo Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart but mostly Bravo for Capt. Sully and first officer Skiles for their heroics on that cold winter day in NYC. I also send bravo out to the first responders of NYC who truly are the best in the world in dealing with emergencies, as their response time in this near disaster shows.
