SULLY MOVIE REVIEW

True events are never easy to convey dramatically in a movie, when the outcome in the real world pretty much upstages elements of suspense and intrigue. So it's left to the filmmaker to walk audiences through the events that originally transpired, not only as if happening for the very first time all over again, but with all the original heightened sense of unimaginable fear, shock and alarm. And yes, eventual healing too.

And Clint Eastwood manages to accomplish just that with his combo biopic and disaster thriller Sully, the remarkable story of US Airways pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. Who on January 15th 2009, somehow miraculously averted mass tragedy for the terrified 155 people on board, when a flock of birds swarmed into the plane engines, effectively shutting down the aircraft in flight. And leading Sully to take a chance on an emergency landing in the frigid waters of New York City's Hudson River.

Tom Hanks lives and breathes the character of Sully with uncommon authenticity, confronting the challenge not only of rescuing his passengers from a horrifying brush with nearly certain death, but then forced into a faceoff with an official aviation bureaucracy questioniing his thoroughly unconventional decisions to save lives.

And so effective and emotionally charged is Hank's performance, that one wishes there were more about his character's life, and the path that eventually led to the incomparable yet unpretentiously humble human being he was to become. And less on screen of the detailed sequence of events surrounding inquiries into just what happened logistically and otherwise, on that nearly fateful day.

What is most compelling about this film though, is how in a rare moment  of collective solidarity, rapidly assembled rescue crews spontaneously came together to save everyone on board. And that's quite an unusual sight resonating in a movie these days, with the deepening divisive climate in society right now.
