Water landings

Sully (2016)

Directed by Clint Eastwood this film based on a true story stars Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart and Laura Linney. We follow the story of the captain who landed a passenger aircraft on the Hudson river in 2009.

While this is not Clint Eastwood's best work even in his weaker films you are still in very safe hands. There are some changes from real events but I like the way the plot of the film focuses as much on the aftermath as it does on the main disaster and the way in which it tells the story in a non-linear fashion. As you would expect from Eastwood the film is well made and never quite becomes overly sentimental.

3/5
