Director Clint Eastwood, brings his story to the big screen with the mushy simplicity of creamed corn.

Sully is about the man who landed the plane on the Hudson. Who better for Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger than Tom Hanks in white hair and matching moustache?

Eastwood handles the action sequences with the same cool-headed efficiency as Sully brought to his piloting - you suspect that Eastwood felt a kinship with this no-frills, no-nonsense man who was just doing his job.

The recreations have enough harrowing quality to bring you to the edge of your seat, clutch that armrest, and feel the beat of your throbbing arteries and internal fears.
