true grit comes through

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2013)

from the very first scenes of the plane in a crash dive, robert zemeckis has once again proved what a great director he was. and probably the only one who could pull you through this drama is someone of tom hanks' capacity. once again, hanks' versatility as an actor has shown through as one thinks along with him as to the next important thing to do--one almost becomes hanks' character himself. on the astute recommendation of a friend, i picked this one to see--don't know how i missed it back then--and she was right. this is engrossing to the hilt and uncompromising in its ability to pull you in. if you haven't already seen it, go out and rent it today, or if you've seen it already, do it again. it's certainly worth the 2 hrs. and 23 mins worth!!!
