The 5 is for Tom Hanks' acting. He plays the cool airline captain very well, as we all expected.
But the NTSB would never hire such an asshole as the guy who plays the chief investigator, and they would never get the report on the left engine while sitting in a final public meeting. Also, never would the NTSB accept simulator tests where the operators were allowed several attempts. They are well aware of the stress factor and don't have to be lectured by some film producer. The film makes them look like they had done their first accident investigation.
Once again, Hollywood has created prejudice among lay people for the sake of "good entertainment". Shame on you, screenwriters and studio!
