SCENARIO
Although largely subject was known, as well as the outcome of the story, Clint Eastwood managed through a mastery that he's not foreign, treat the subject as a great puzzle game consisting of different pieces temporal parts are intertwined finally a happy ending.
Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors. It was great in Forest Gump, was huge in Philadelphia, HE was great in Terminal, Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile or Cast Away. He is a consummate actor, so somehow you expect to see him in memorable roles. And he do not disappoint us this time, and let the magic happen here.
With a makeup that makes him look strikingly like the character in real life, how an actor like him transmitted through facial expressions or gestures overwhelming feelings makes you appreciate more such talented people, unique to their generation.
Aaron Eckhart, copilot Tom Hanks in the cast and the action it rises, both in terms of acting and emotions transmission, up to the task entrusted by Eastwood. Sully is his support during the investigation, is extra pair of eyes he needs to chase Sully doubts.

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times critic, believes that if there is no Tom Hanks to help the Eastwood brings to the screen Sully's heroic deed, then it would have to be invented:
If Tom Hanks hadn’t existed to play the title role, Eastwood would have had to invent him: This is one of those cases where movie-star persona and real-life legend blend perfectly.
