Eastwood has delivered a no-frills affair, almost to a fault. A brisk 96 minutes, the movie is workmanlike in its approach, yet still manages to be stirring thanks to the subject matter.

As Clint Eastwood's Sully proves, the Miracle on the Hudson is actually lousy material for a movie.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Fresh
A fierce, stark, haunted drama of horror narrowly avoided.
Richard Brody, New Yorker
Rotten
You've heard of straw men? This is a straw movie.
Christopher Orr, The Atlantic
Rotten
Sully can feel like a dutiful, hagiographic slog, even though its actual running time barely tops 90 minutes and both Hanks and Eckhart give warm, understated, funny performances in the only two roles developed enough to qualify as real characters
