Ranking December's Movies From Worst To Best

5. Sully

Rogue One Passengers Why Him
Warner Bros.

RottenTomatoes Score: 85% (7.2/10)

Box Office: On a $60 million budget, Tom Hanks' drama has grossed an impressive $233.1 million. Never bet against Hanks.

Verdict: Though it's destined to be remembered as a fairly minor effort in director Clint Eastwood's filmography, Sully makes solid use of an excellent Hanks performance to mine palpable drama out of the iconic Miracle on the Hudson.

It's an amazing true story and the film successfully conveys that, even if its messy structure and over-reaching melodrama sometimes feels a little too much. Considering that the central event was over in mere minutes, there's blatant filler here with even just a 96-minute run-time.
