The Birth of a Nation

Opens Oct. 7.

A movie like that could have been magnificent.

I cant imagine it airing anywhere but on Lifetime without him.

On the page, Sullenberger is a pretty vanilla, one-dimensional character.

A cipher with wings pinned to his chest.

Theres nothing inherently cinematic about him.

He knows theres power in subtlety, in quiet, in the unspoken gesture the words that arentspoken.

He knows that less can often be more.

Like Sully, hes the kind of guy you want behind the controls.B

Metacritic: 74
