Good film

Rating: 6/10 (21 January 2001)

Cast Away is a very impressing film when Chuck is stranded on the desert island. There are no cop outs here: no crying fiancÃ© in the US, no melodramatic music, no dangers apart from loneliness. Quite brilliant. However, in "the real world" the movie lacks pace and suspense and Helen Hunt offers another mediocre performance. Cast Away is a good film, even brilliant at times, but it does not deliver all the time. (6/10)
