Best film since The Insider

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2000)

I read some really bad reviews before I had the opportunity to see the film myself; This is not only a good story that makes you think about the way you live your life at the moment but also takes its time to develop real characters and has btw. the most realistic airplane crash I've ever seen;
nobody's talking your ears off ( not much dialogue when you're alone on an island ...), you only get the actor's physical reaction expressing his inner state of mind and Tom Hanks is just doing a terrific job !!! No other movie this year - except The Insider and perhaps Gladiator - had me leaving the theater still thinking about what I had just seen.
