Sully: Miracle on the Hudson (2016 Clint Eastwood & prod)

Good screenplay by Todd Komamicki, based on Chesley Sullenberger's 'Highest Duty' (with Jeffrey Zaslow), moves the events around so that the fateful crash doesn't take place until 40 minutes in - then  is retold from a different perspective at the film's great ending, which also condenses the 18 month enquiry into a much shorter period.

We agreed that the short running time and lack of conventional Hollywood ending were to its credit. The deliberately morbid tone of the yellow press on the spot is noted.

Good cast all round led by Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhardt. With Laura Linney, Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad), Ann Cusack, Jane Gabbart and Molly Welsh as the flight attendants (the former is John and Joan's sister), Mike O'Malley, Jerry Ferrara, Max Adler, Patrick Harten (air traffic controller, seen below), Michael Rapaport etc.

Shot of course by Tom Stern, in Panavision, Blu Murray has worked in the editorial department in a number of other Clint films.
