This was gripping and upsetting but ultimately, at the end when I realized it was a Clint Eastwood film, my heart sank. It was a story worth telling but Eastwood has a recent history of being unfair to government officials. I am a pilot and that Sully movie was awesome but he made up a narrative in which government was attacking a hero. Yeah, it didn't happen. The air crash board never put Sully on trial... but it suited Eastwood's anti-government feelings. I won't spoil this movie because it is worth seeing but there is an important sequence that I now wonder about - a certain transaction. Maybe it really happened as portrayed and if so, well we know government people have done very bad things in real life. If that actually happened here, I am glad this story was told. If it's more US Republican polarization, that sucks. I just walked out a little unsure what to think or feel and that is a shame because every person in this movie was solid.
