Tom Hanks Delivers all over again

| Aug 7, 2023

This is the Eastwood aesthetic: professionals doing their jobs without fuss or debate. They don’t have much dimension—Sully is the only fully-developed character on screen—but the actors, like the figures they play, get the job done.

| Jul 1, 2023

Eastwood made a wise casting choice, and Hanks makes the transparent qualities of Sully work more than they should.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2022

All in all, Sully is an achievement for Hanks and another reminder that even at 86, Eastwood is still one of Americas more consistent directors.

| Feb 11, 2022

Hanks delivers a grounded performance in service of a man whose heroism took flight at the right moment.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 18, 2021

Like his hero, Eastwood presents his movie with safe calculation, relying on experience to guide him to a safe landing. It works.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 26, 2021

A well-constructed, occasionally exciting old-fashioned story of heroism in the face of modern cynicism.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 1, 2021

Eastwood brings to bear his greatest strength, a certain feeling for the American "common man," especially if he is a skilled professional and acting alone...

| Feb 22, 2021

This biopic is little more than a reenactment of the landing, with no character arcs, shocking discoveries about Sully's life, or revelations about the state of the aircraft.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 5, 2020

The movie manages to be as good as the story, showing respect to the subjects as well as giving the audience a great ride.

| Nov 10, 2020

Sully is a national hero and Sully shows why.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 11, 2020

As a film with strong character development and plotting, Sully comes up short.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 11, 2020

Hanks will always be able to lure me to the box office, with his humanity, humility and humour. Eastwood as director, on the other hand, must do better. This film is hampered by odd choices, which left me frustrated and ultimately cringing.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jul 2, 2020

Hanks, again as a captain, is the true hero for 96 minutes that fly by. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 27, 2020

Sully is fine, but shouldn't the story of Chesley Sullenberger and his crew soar?

| Feb 19, 2020

Bawling. I could not contain myself.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 23, 2020

Sully is a feel-good movie about a guy who deserves hero worship, but it is also, unfortunately, a bit of a bore.

| Jan 14, 2020

Despite strong performances from Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart, and strong visuals from Tom Stern, Sully is weak on script and story...The film's genesis may have been "Miracle on the Hudson" but Sully is no miracle on film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2019

You're in good hands with [Tom] Hanks and [Clint] Eastwood at the controls.

| Oct 23, 2019

There is also the ever-impressive acting prowess of Hanks capturing spot-on the reticent real-life hero... Editing and tonal inconsistencies notwithstanding, if those aspects sound compelling, it might be worth the price of admission.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 21, 2019
