good but disjointed

Rating: Null/10 (12 August 2001)

Basically, I liked the movie and think that Hanks did a fine job.

But whoever decided to jump cut from the first couple of months on the island to FOUR YEARS LATER did a terrible disservice to the audience. In doing so we skipped over what could have been a fascinating story of Chuck's growth and an opportunity for Hanks to really blow us out of the water.
Instead we get an okay film with a likeable character and an interesting (but not unpredictable) ending.
