A film about civil heroism, declining its foundations and seeds towards the collective feat, towards the sense of duty and epic discretion, with a final sparkling smile from the copilot. [Full review in Spanish]
It's ironic that a movie being advertised as 'the story you didn't know' is actually at its best ( ... ) when it's showing us the story we do know, namely the events of that cold afternoon in New York, on January 15th, 2009.
Though Sully doesn't push too far outside the boundaries of its genre, it still manages to be a subtle, understated representation of a very grandiose achievement.
Sully can feel like a dutiful, hagiographic slog, even though its actual running time barely tops 90 minutes and both Hanks and Eckhart give warm, understated, funny performances in the only two roles developed enough to qualify as real characters
Eastwood has delivered a no-frills affair, almost to a fault. A brisk 96 minutes, the movie is workmanlike in its approach, yet still manages to be stirring thanks to the subject matter.
