Another great to many greats for Hanks!

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2001)

Cast Away could only of been successful through one actor alone....and that actor is Tom Hanks. This guy has to go down as one of the best actors of all time. The plot of cast away is straight forward as you'd gather from the title.
Tom Hanks plays the part of Chuck Noland who is a FeDex operative transporting packages by air. The plane nose dives into the ocean through bad weather and only Chuck comes away alive, he then drafts to an unchartered island where he is on his own.
The crash scene was very brutal and it almost made me look at flying in a completely different way, then i convinced myself "it is a film". But the scene was so realistic that it can honestly change your opinion. Hanks, once on the island, is very capturing, you see him struggle to survive and then LEARN to survive.
The acting by Hanks alone should of beaten off Russell Crowe for the Oscar i feel. He shows great emotion and presence within the movie to back that statement.
This is another great movie to go in Tom Hanks' record of achievement and its another great film to go into my collection.
9/10.
