Sully — This is a great flick to watch — 9*/10

  • Overall: Excellent movie that captures the essence of an event the way we all imagined it. Superb work by director Clint Eastwood, if a tiny bit biased.
  • Who is it for? Everyone. It's a must (almost).
  • Synopsis & informationhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt3263904/
  • Known actors: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney and Anna Gunn.
  • Cameos: Michael Rapaport.
  • Style: Quiet drama with a few very tense events.
  • Pacing: Great back and forth.
  • Intro: Excellent idea. 
  • Story: Loved the way it’s told, makes those 208 seconds very interesting.
  • Ending: Considering it's based on real events, it's pretty solid. The speech by the woman, however, was a bit, just a bit, much for me.
  • Dialogs: Great, very realistic in some places but maybe a bit too perfect in others.
  • Characters: The bad guys weren't gray enough, I am doubtful they were correctly portrayed, which has been a controversy surrounding the film.
  • Acting: Beyond reproach.
  • Special Effects: Seamless.
  • Score: Seamless, except for the light music when the ferries are assisting which seemed odd.
  • Afterthoughts: Great satisfaction, but I wasn't surprised to read about the controversy. Makes for a nice movie, though.
