I really like that the film is not all about the landing on the Hudson. It's not even really a pivotal point of the movie. We start after the incident. And see it only in flashbacks, albeit several times. The bulk of the movie is in the unglamorous, no frills NTSB hearings. The movie is more properly about Sully than about the Miracle on the Hudson. It is about the internal struggle he faces post-trauma. Tom Hanks portrays a calm, low-key everyday hero, reminding me of Captain Philips. It is very much a Tom Hanks-kind of character. He does good ole American hero well.
