"This is a great catch, not to be thrown back"

Rating: 9/10 (23 December 2000)

In the past years, Tom Hanks has been one of the greatest American actors ever. First "Philadelphia" then "Forrest Gump","Toy Story","Saving Private Ryan", and "The Green Mile. Now, 11 months later, Tom Hanks is in top form, once again, in which could be his fourth Academy award nomination for best actor and hopefully a best picture nod. Those who are thinking "Cast Away", is just a one man "Gilligan's Island", are badly mistaken. No coconut phones, no wooden branch radios, this my friends is the real deal... Poor Tom Hanks, trying to survive on this island in the middle of nowhere, "You owe yourself to see Cast Away"!!!
