Another example of the excellence and diversity of Tom Hanks acting ability.

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2006)

This is a movie definitely worth seeing, and for myself, watching about once a year. I have enjoyed Tom Hanks in a number of movies, this one being near the top of his list. The scenery is spectacular in a confined environment. His struggle and his evolution to primitive being shows the determination to live, where many would simply lay down and die, wallowing in their own self-pity for being stranded seemingly without hope. And his recovery from devastation when he realizes he has lost the love of his life for the second time, shows a similarity to the persona he had to bring out, simply to survive the adverse conditions in which he found himself when he crawled out of the ocean. An absolutely excellent film.
