Excellent movie!

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2002)

Tom Hanks makes another blockbuster...how do he do dat? Pretty much anything that Hanks touches is a huge hit! Sure, he's a great actor, but that can't explain his phenomenal success. Anyway, this is yet another great film starring Tom Hanks. He's by far the major player in this film, considering that he's alone on an island for much of the film. He's cast perfectly and he delivers perfectly. The story has been reviewed dozens of times, I'm certain, so I'll not go into that. The film is a commentary on the resiliency of man. And casting Hanks was a very smart move!
