Tom Hanks' best performance

Rating: Null/10 (16 August 2001)

I absolutely loved this movie! It spans the universe of human emotions, from love to despair, then determination, hope & perseverance...a movie where you can laugh and you can cry. Beautifully directed and with a terrific score that gives a unique poignancy to scenes depicting the most extreme of human emotions, this movie proves that you don't have to have non-stop action to create a beautiful & moving film...rather unique in today's film industry. Anyone who is not moved emotionally while following the travails of Tom Hanks' characterization of Chuck Noland in this movie should have his heartbeat checked. Tom Hanks has given us many wonderful performances, but this one is his best!
