It Took Guts !!!

Rating: 10/10 (27 August 2001)

Tom Hanks did a splendid job in this film. It took guts to do all that was required from the start to the finish = from gaining all that weight and then letting it "fall off" as the film progressed, to being basically the sole character, having the entire film rest upon his shoulders from his performance. That had to be quite a burden. But He pulled it off and did a gutsy job, and it was quite an experience to go through it all with him. After all, WE WERE WITH HIM ON THAT ISLAND. We learned lessons right along with him; and his character's dedication to his job held him together and gave him something to hold onto; after all, he DID deliver that package that he held onto for all those years ! Now THAT'S dedication !!! I loved the film ; watched it 3 times and I'd watch it again !
