Tom Hanks saves it!

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2000)

To Hanks saves this movie from failing.This movie was created for a great movie actor and Tom Hanks did a very good job.No real suprises in this movie and we got exactly what it promised.The movie reminds us that anything can happen in life and our journey can take very unexpected turns anytime.It would do us a whole lot of good to keep this in mind so we may be better prepared mentally when such events happen to us.We must never expect our life journey to be predictable.We can only do our very best to achieve our goals but at the same time be constantly aware how easily events could cause very divergent paths to anywhere.The weak points are it's predictability and condescending start(Lenin's picture being taken down in Moscow for example)but it's weak points were not enough to ruin this movie.A near classic.Another touchdown for Hanks!
