In the aftermath of this unprecedented and heroic feat, the traumatized pilot must endure second-guessing by investigators, the weight of sudden fame, and his own doubts about his actions that fateful day.

Review:
Sully is an impressive piece of filmmaking that showcases
the type of heroism that’s rarely shown.
Clint Eastwood directs his film with a steady hand showing the dichotomy
of emotions that Captain Sullenberger was going through after his miraculous
landing. Tom Hanks is perfectly cast as Sullenberger,
displaying the levels of introspection and self doubt that his character was
going through. It’s a thoughtful piece
of filmmaking which screams award season contention. It’s an impressive character study that’s
well acted and directed through even though there is a sense that film has been
padded a bit. It’s an odd sensation to
watch an hour and a half film that feels much longer than it is.
B+
