Another good one from Hanks, Zemeckis.

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2000)

This is one of the best films in a year of mostly oscar-unworthy productions. Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis crank out another great movie worth seeing following the success of Forrest Gump several years ago. Cast Away is a significant improvement over Zemeckis' last creation, "What Lies Beneath", and Hanks turns in a performance that could score him a third Oscar. It was certainly a dramatic risk for Hanks, who spends over an hour in the movie acting alone, with no costars and no background music.
