What to Know

Critics Consensus

As comfortingly workmanlike as its protagonist, Sully makes solid use of typically superlative work from its star and director to deliver a quietly stirring tribute to an everyday hero.

Kristen Lopez Culturess Director Clint Eastwood, brings his story to the big screen with the mushy simplicity of creamed corn. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times 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? Rated: 3/5 Dec 27, 2016 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 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. Rated: 3/5 Dec 4, 2016 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews Tom Hanks Delivers all over again Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 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 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Eastwood made a wise casting choice, and Hanks makes the transparent qualities of Sully work more than they should. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review William B One of my teachers from a few years back actually rented this movie from one of the local libraries because he thought I would enjoy it, he was right. Great performance from Mr. Hanks and great cinematography. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Eye C I like the narrative, Mr. Hanks exceptional as usual. And great story. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Анастасия Ш Два часа смотреть на то, как мужчина гордится собой и тем, что хорошо выполняет свою работу. Снято слишком просто, нет моральной дилемы. Скучно и сухо, ожидала большего. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Michael H Brilliant film. One of Tom's best performances and one of Eastwood's very best.
