Good flick, one concern

Rating: 8/10 (17 September 2016)

"Sully" is not a gargantuan classic; it IS a very well made movie about an historical event that brings the reality of the near-tragedy to life for the viewer. Tom Hanks does a subtle and masterful job of bringing you into the pilot's, Sullenberger,character, and Jeff Skiles performs as well in the lesser role of co-pilot. The portrayal of the spouse, Lorraine,was competent, but the script set up a role that lacked the fiber I can recall in the real person. The NTSB protagonist was well done by Michael Porter, though the script positioned him as a villain--and my knowledge of these people is that they are boring in their methodical objectivity ( a good thing). My one concern is that this movie positions the NTSB in a position to prove a hypothesis, instead of following the facts methodically, as though they were defending the manufacturer. This seems unfair, and could have unfortunate societal ramifications
