If you're going, skip the trailer.

Rating: 6/10 (29 January 2001)

I like Tom Hanks as an actor. In many ways, I think he's the modern Jimmy Stewart; an everyman. Could another actor have pulled off Cast Away and made it such a hit? I doubt it. Few have Hanks' appeal.
Cast Away is not without one, fairly large, problem. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie. The details you don't see, with an exception or two, are minor and, I won't spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it, not much missed.
Still, I recommend it. It's FAR better than lots of the stuff they give us these days.
