Life on a deserted island most certainly not a good time.

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2010)

This film was interesting, however not as good as I was expecting. The film about what amounts to a delivery man in a plane crash and stuck on a desert island for a while is rather good. I just did not care for the run time after he is rescued as I thought it went on a bit to long after he was rescued. I went to the movie to see a man on an island and how he copes, I did not really want to see how his former wife could not wait a bit longer before she remarried (seriously a guy would be expected to wait twice as long before anyone pushed them to marry someone else I am betting the female here started getting prodded to get married again about two weeks after his disappearance). The story on the island was good though, the volleyball was a bit lame, I realize I am rather antisocial so the lack of people would not affect me as much as it would someone who loves people, but I still do not see talking to a volleyball as something that is going to be helpful. I liked the way at the start of his island life he kept getting hurt and had trouble eating and such and then it flashed forward and he is spearing fish and eating them raw. His escape plan is both brilliant and reckless at the same time. This film could have been really special had they cut a bit of time off the run time and got rid of the annoying wife.
