Seven years after the miraculous water landing of flight 1549, Hollywood decided to create a movie of the event with director Clint Eastwood helming the project and Tom Hanks starring in the lead role, as Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. This biographical drama is very different to other Eastwood movies, in style as well as in tone, but it was nevertheless a fantastic cinematic experience. The film gave me a better understanding of what happened during those three minutes of flight and surprised me by depicting the later events from an unconventional point of view; that of the airline’s insurance and the NTSB agency.
I was living in the UK at the time when this event happened, finishing my last year of Uni. I remember having gotten out of class and just arriving at home early in the eve when my roommates told me to turn on the TV. At that time the world was dealing with the financial crisis and my thoughts were turning around that subject. When I turned on BBC News I was shocked to see the images on screen. The first question that popped into my mind was: “Is this a botched attempt at another terror attack?” however, I soon realised that it was a spectacular emergency landing after a bird strike hit the plane at take-off. The event didn’t stay long in my mind though, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the trailer for this film.
The story takes place a couple of days after the incident on January 15, 2009. Captain Chesley Sullivan, nicknamed Sully (Hanks), and his first pilot Jeffrey Skiles (Eckhart) are audited by the NTSB on the water crash in the Hudson. Sully soon notices that the NTSB Board members (O’Malley, Sheridan & Gunn) are trying to deem his actions as “pilot error”, a measure that would end his career immediately. In a bid to save his reputation, he arranges to have the simulations of the incident re-run with live pilots.
When it comes to movies based on real life events, it is hard to surprise the audience with the story, as the viewers already know what happened. Sully, though, managed to surprise me from the first act because the story is not depicting the moments that lead to the incident but rather the aftermath of the forced water landing. While there are flashbacks depicting what happened from three different perspectives, most of the plot is dealing with the insurance aspect of that tragedy and I found that angle of storytelling, to my amazement, quite compelling. I was also blown away by the dialogue in this film, as most of it was kept short and to the point, yet they managed to include some weight to the lines and at times it managed to sway my opinion of Sully’s heroic action.
What is there to say about Tom Hanks that hasn’t been said yet? This man is an absolute professional and one of the best actors of my generation, so it is no surprise that I was blown away by his presence in this biographical drama. He plays Sully as a calm and focused man, who tries to hide the fact that he is still processing what happened from the public, while also suffering from some sort of PTSD. Aaron Eckhart, who portrayed Sully’s co-pilot Jeffrey Skiles, also did a fantastic job. His relationship to Sully feels natural and is very believable.
Laura Linney played Sully’s wife, Lorraine Sullenberger, but she wasn’t an active persona like most of the side characters in this flick. Her role was merely to serve as a tool and give Hank’s character more depth. Her scenes basically consist of answering the phone when Sully calls home and then walking around the house, talking to her husband about finances, family and of course the consequences of the forced water landing.
The cinematography in this movie is very different from other Clint Eastwood films, for instance, the bright and vivid colours used turned it into a beautiful picture to look at. The greatest aspect of Sully’s cinematography, however, is its contained runtime because it doesn’t sway away from the story but rather gets straight the point right from the beginning onwards. The computer generated imagery of the airplane looked fantastic. I was surprised at how real the flight sequences looked; as if watching a documentary of the real event over and over again.
Verdict: This biographic-drama is an intense but strangely calm depiction of the happenings that lead to the “Miracle on the Hudson”, as well as how the NTSB dealt with the aftermath of the incident. Since the film was contained to a runtime of an hour and thirty-six minutes, the plot came straight to the point and created a feeling of urgency that helped build tension. The dialogues, just as the plot, didn’t jump around the subject too much but rather addressed the matter at hand immediately and thanks to that combination of narrative and dialogue, the audience at times came to doubt the decision made by Captain Sullenberger. Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart gave fantastic renditions of the pilots and had great chemistry, which sold the comradery and friendship of both men. The only issue I had was with the character of Lorraine Sullenberger, which was simply added to the film to flesh out Sully a little more. In the end, I found Sully to be a very well crafted biopic and I will give it an 8 out of 10.
Thank you for reading my review for Sully and don’t forget to like and share this analysis, if you enjoyed my thoughts on Eastwood’s newest dramatic biopic. There is one more review, maybe two, coming up before I post my worst and best list for 2016, so keep an eye on my blog.
