Sully: Miracle On The Hudson

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 29th November 2016

In times of crisis, look to Hanks. America's on its arse and what it needs now more than ever is a man whose Twitter account is dedicated to finding gloves on the streets of New York, not making baseless claims of voter fraud.
