Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"[I]t’s an effectively thrilling story of quietly unassuming, can-do American heroism—the kind, sadly, we don’t get to witness much these days." -- Grade: B - 09/02/2016 Entertainment Weekly
"Efficient and effective in Eastwood's experienced hands, SULLY has interwoven a crisp and electric retelling of the story of the landing we know with a story we do not, a version of what happened behind the scenes..." - 09/08/2016 Los Angeles Times
3 stars out of 4 -- "[I]t will keep you fully engrossed....A porterhouse of a movie that touches your heart." - 09/09/2016 RogerEbert.com
"Sullenberger is played by Tom Hanks with the kind of from-the-gut effortlessness that has distinguished the great male performances in Eastwood’s films." -- Grade: A- - 09/06/2016 A.V. Club
"Hanks, of course, brings a career’s worth of excellence, depth, good will, and trust-me assurance to the story..." -- Grade: B - 09/02/2016 Entertainment Weekly
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "The movie earns your attention and respect by digging deep, by finding the fear and self-doubt inside a man who'd never accept being defined as a hero. It's an eye-opener." - 09/07/2016 Rolling Stone
"The climax, understated yet triumphant, simply gives us the catastrophe as it was experienced in the frame of the cockpit, choice by hectic, coolheaded choice. It’s a surprisingly successful gambit." - 09/08/2016 Boston Globe
"The movie is economical and solid, and generally low-key when it’s not freaking you out....Mr. Eastwood is also very good at his job, a talent that gives the movie its tension along with an autobiographical sheen." - 09/08/2016 New York Times
3 stars out of 5 -- "It’s well-made and impeccably acted by all concerned, while the re-enactment of the emergency landing itself -- which we get to see twice -- is convincing down to the last detail." - 11/30/2016 Total Film
