"Cast Away" not as shallow as it could have been

Rating: Null/10 (12 December 2001)

Pointless soliloquy of Tom Hanks (the only actor for half the film) as a Fed-Ex worker stranded on some island after his plane wrecks. Movie is interesting, and beautiful to marvel at, but never really adds up to much. Although his character is in good standing, and his screen presence charismatic, we've heard of all this before. Still great entertainment.
