Sully is the real life story centering around the event that came to
be called "The Miracle on the Hudson." Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger (Tom Hanks)
and Jeff Skiles (Aaron Eckhart) were two airline pilots who, on the 15th
of January 2009, found themselves at loss of both engines at a record
low altitude. Thanks to their committed professionalism, they
managed to land the plane on the Hudson river just 208 seconds after the
incident without the loss of any lives both inside and outside the
plane. Unfortunately, both of the airline officials had to face tough
times in the aftermath of the incident during an investigation that
mistakenly led to the belief the two pilots hadn't done their job
properly.
The ever so prolific Clint Eastwood is back with another real life
picture and yet another time he delivers a story that is well told and
filled with great performances, even if there might be not that
interesting of a story to tell. The efficiency of Eastwood in the use
of the cinematic medium makes for, nevertheless, a worthy 90 minute
watch.
