SULLY (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

 Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Sully—very good story—gives its audience a great ‘good news’ from impossible circumstances movie based in true events. The film shows how experience and calmness of mind work hand in hand during critical times when a quick decision must be made. This movie outstandingly shows how well our society functions under duress and how much United States’ culture values human life. Director Clint Eastwood shows his usual high level skills of story telling by  maximizing this story with some background information of Pilot Scully’s childhood and military flying experience. Great script, more than worth watching movie.
