See this movie!

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2005)

Cast Away is Tom Hanks in his best role since Forrest Gump. It's the story of a FedEx man who gets stranded on a desert island after his plane crashes. Since the plot isn't all that eventful, I'd been expecting to be bored watching Tom Hanks talk to himself on an island for a long time.
I couldn't have been more wrong. Cast Away is brilliantly acted and is even amazingly funny at certain moments. It's also the only movie I know of that has ever made me feel sorry for an inanimate object. And at times, I felt myself following the same thought processes as Tom Hanks' character, thinking I'd do things the same way he did in that situation.
Tom Hanks gives an Oscar-worthy, memorable performance. My advice to everyone is simple: go see this movie!
