Great performance by Hanks

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2001)

Cast Away is a decent film about the survivor of a plane crash. Tom Hanks proves his acting ability once more in a distinguished career, as he has over an hour of screen time by himself, with no actor to play off of and no musical score in the background. Such a feat is nearly impossible to pull off without strong acting abilities. The film is a little long, but the crash scene is very hauntingly real and the performance by Hanks is worth seeing.
