Engaging, Entertaining and very Hollywood

Rating: 7/10 (8 May 2016)

A well acted movie with catchy dialog. Too often though, it sounds like punch lines being delivered. "I'm not afraid to die....Then the punchline...but it wouldn't be my first choice." Unfortunately it was meant to please not give the story any depth. At the end of the film you know nothing about, nor care about, the characters other than what was minimally needed to move the story. Just for the record, all the women are minor characters. You really don't have an idea about the relationship between the Tom Hanks character and his wife. Refreshingly, there no guns, girls or chase scenes and yet the movie is engaging. Tom Hanks is the anti James Bond.
