And best supporting role goes to...

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2001)

It's a bit hard to know where to start with this film, what to expect, when the film gets rolling. It's about a guy stranded on a desert island... You're not expecting therefore a lot of action such as Crouching Tiger or deep, meaningful conversations on deep and meaningful things. As far as the acting goes, Tom Hanks is very good, portraying the 'time is money' Fed Ex man who finds his whole life literally crashing down. The island was clever and very beautiful.
The story was a bit long though. There were points when you thought 'ah yes another 5 minutes and we'll be out' and then an added 15 is shown, with the ending being slightly to cliché.
As for the others, Helen Hunt is good as the wife who lost her husband and especially for Wilson, the volleyball! Astounding screen presence, delivers lines with pinpoint accuracy and does his own stunts, definitely a supporting role nomination.
If you want to see a film of a man sitting on the island, or you are a big fan of Tom Hanks, this film is worth seeing. Don't expect a lot of high drama and action though, after all, there is a limit to the amount of stunts you can do with a volleyball...
