Very Engaging

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2001)

"CastAway" was gripping from start to finish. I was very drawn into the story and I really cared about what was to become of Tom Hanks' character. Hanks, by the way, was brilliant yet again and showed his fantastic talent even in a film with limited dialogue and interaction with other characters. The film direction and cinematography were also outstanding and the plane crash sequence was, well, very intense to say the least. Overall it was a very good movie with an engaging and engrossing story, superb acting, and a great message to end the film. Check it out, it's worth it.
