If you haven’t watched everything on Netflix, or every movie ever made by now, I highly recommend this one. Sully is a great movie.
On paper it looks good. It stars Tom Hanks, is directed and produced by Clint Eastwood and is based on actual events from January 2009. It is also 96 minutes long and made several shortlists as one of the top 10 movies of 2016.
We’ve watched this movie with our children who were 8, 10 and 12 at the time. We’ve now just watched it again at the suggestion of the now 11 and 13 year olds.
It’s very well done and a real joy to watch. I don’t watch many movies twice. But I know I will watch this one for a third some time in the future.
The movie has you thinking and cheering and feeling as if you were right there in so many scenes.
It is full of great lines and good lessons. It is thoughtful and funny too. The filming and sound are both great quality.
Even when you know how things turn out, from coverage or having seen the movie before, it is still gripping and enjoyable.
Sully is great movie. Go watch it now.
