Does Hank's pull this off?

Rating: 7/10 (10 August 2001)

Before i saw this film i had my own pre concieved ideas of what it would be like. I knew this film was about a guy who get stuck on a deserted island and i wondered how and if they could make this interesting.If anybody could make a film like this work it would be Tom Hanks. Lets face it how many bad film has he made?
Does hanks pull it off? I'm not too sure if he does. The film is good but because of the concept of the film it is hard for it not to be a little boring and it is at times. Credit should go to Hank's because he does a De Niro stile Weight Loss to make his stay on the island look realistic but i dont think it is enough. Don't get me wrong Cast Away is not a bad film it just not that exciting.
