Previously an 88, now a 94 If you ever need to be convinced of the class-act bravura of Tom Hanks, look no further than in the difference between two relatively similar scenes in two recent films: Paul Greengrass' Captain Phillips and Clint Eastwood's Sully. Both have a…
SilentDawnSep 9, 2016Hey Clint, what should we open the movie with? How about the crash? Brilliant, what should we put in act two? How about the crash? Okay, I'm rolling with you. But what's the climax in act three? How about the crash? Different perspectives each time? Not really, no.…
Chad HartiganAug 31, 2016"We did our job." Surely not the most exciting thing but frequently downright Hawks-y in its portrayal of pragmatic, unassuming, collective heroism and cool thinking in a crisis, not to mention the second-guessing from those without the proper disposition and experience.…

what if...... a good thing a person did.... was actually bad.... except in reality.... still good
fran hoepfnerDec 5, 2016TThere is both lots and no drama for Eastwood to dramatize, some five or so minutes of material that must hold together a feature. No surprise it is Eastwood shortest film (while keeping his usual leisured pace) and it still needs to contrive some to generate its running…
Filipe FurtadoMar 5, 2026Final Jeopardy category yesterday was "21st century heroes" and I pointed at the TV and said "Sully" because I couldn't think of any other examples. lo and behold, the answer was literally Sully, so we had to watch Sully.

How do you make a full-length feature movie about the “miracle on the Hudson”, dramatic and inspiring as it may be? Easy, you get Clint Eastwood to direct. And of course Hanks delivers a grounded performance in service of a man whose heroisms took flight at the right moment.
twilight raven22 lovedSullybased on true events Tim honks portrays captain sully well in the retelling of the incidents and investigation of their fateful flight.
Neil D Fernandes is "meh" onSullydumb movie, I can land a plane
- Cory Nunez lovedSully
Omg I loved this!! I thought this was just going to be a basic flight savior with Tom Hanks, but boy was I wrong! I was super confused when they started after the incident and then showed it halfway, but I realized that that was the perfect way to do it. Keep us in suspense until it was time to…
Matt likedSullyI really enjoyed Sully. Hanks is as always excellent as the heroic pilot. Aaron Eckhart is excellent too. It’s well written and well paced too. It’s a simple enough movie but done really well by Eastwood. Hanks really brings Sully to life in a human way. Well worth a watch
Jack O'Connor is "meh" onSullyI enjoyed this! Just fine! Best scene was… oh gosh, how awful is this? It’s the only scene I remember… the best scene is when they did the plane exploding into the city hypothetically. 🙈 I’m sorry. It was engaging. I can’t…. I’m sorry
- Grant Friday lovedSully
Amazing! Hanks was the perfect roe for this film. Such a great fit. His performance is brilliant as always. Love the retelling of this story. The whole film was really well done. Would definitely watch again.
alexa likedSullyi accidentally saw a tiktok of a scene from Captain Phillips and just assumed it was a scene from Sully, which convinced me to watch it. long story short tom hanks was not checked out by an EMT and cry but it was still good i guess whatever. ive ben meaning to watch this forever
Jordan Griffith likedSullyI liked the story a lot and I definitely recommend. My biggest complaint is everything at the end we had already seen. I wish the during the middle part they would have saved some of the conversation between sully and silkies for the end. Also by the 3rd sim I was tired of them.

I cried and feel like I was on that flight. God bless Captain Chesley Sullenberger.❤
ESEric SpidellAs a retired Aircraft Mechanic, this is one of few movies about Aircraft that didn't make me cringe at the inaccurate portrayal of the airplane itself. Well done.

Tom Hanks is so quietly compelling that he gives the film an illusion of depth.

Eastwood keeps his direction lean and mean. There’s not an ounce of wasted screen time in Sully’s 96 minutes, but the story, an example of “truth is stranger than fiction,” has all the thrust it needs, and then some.

It's a wonderful New York story, and Eastwood takes care to make it a story about the many different people who made it a miracle. That is the emotional core of the film, a celebration of the simple act of reaching out a helping hand without a second thought.
