An overall great acted drama about family and the plane crash of 2009

Rating: 8/10 (1 January 2017)

Clint Eastwood does it again with a new and excellent acted movie about the Hudson River plane crash of 2009. The main premise of this movie is to make you feel and see the intensity and seriousness of the events of 2009. The acting in this film is top notch Tom Hanks plays Sully (The Pilot) and Aaron Eckhart plays Jeff Skiles (The co-pilot) both do a great job in this movie. Tom Hanks plays a serious emotional role while Aaron Eckhart plays more a humorous and relief role. This movie also does a great job incorporating New York City. It shows numerous shots and great cinematography of New York while also focusing on the problem at hand (the plane crash). It also shows Sully running down the streets of New York and down Time Square. Believe me this movie isn't all about the plane crash, its also about family and friendship. It explores aspects of Sully's life no one probably even knew were going on at the time. This film is also very realistic in which it shows people emotionally distraught after the plane crash and how much the passengers cared about there families. There is one scene in the movie which I thought that there might be a classic Hollywood moment but instead it went a different way and I was happy about that. I absolutely love how the movie showed little mini stories about the passengers and there families throughout the film. There is a sense of fear throughout this movie and that's what makes this film intense at some moments.
Issues I had with the film There were very few issues I had with this movie but I thought for starters there were a little too many dream sequences which I wont get into detail about.
The feeling of 2009 wasn't really there. There were a couple of shots I could see things like an advertisement for the Revenant on a cab.
The movie was a little slow at the beginning. The beginning of the movie sort of moved a little slower than i thought it could have but i understand why it was crucial to put those scenes in the film. Eventually the film does pick back up.
