Another solid Hanks film.

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2001)

Cast Away is far from being Tom Hanks' best film but still is a very good movie. The best part of this movie by far is Tom Hanks' great performance, his best performance in a movie since Forrest Gump. I believed every moment the way he acted on the island. I don't know how I would act if I was stunk on an island for a period of time, but like Hanks' character I'm sure I would act a little weird. The downside to this movie is the begining and ending. They weren't bad, just not near as good as the middle section. Also I will not give anything away but I was dissapointed the trailor did, which did take some suspense away. Cast Away is still clear proof that Tom Hanks can perform another type of character in the line of many that he has played well. I give Cast Away an 8 out of 10.
