As flat as the screen you read from

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2000)

Rarely do I write a review about a film I see, but I found it necessary to warn viewers of a film that is this repulsive and disastrous. The first 20 minutes of the film are a big commercial for FedEx (as you have seen in the trailer). Then, in a (I must admit, exciting) sequence, his (FedEx) plane goes down in the Atlantic Ocean.
Now the film gets REALLY dull. We see Tom Hanks play Survivor's Richard Hatch (with, thankfully, more clothes on), for a full hour where he talks to Wilson (enter the advertisement), his new friend VOLLEYBALL!
Then, you can brace yourself for the last grueling 23 minutes, and come out of the theater feeling like you just survived a plane crash yourself.
In conclusion, basically, Hollywood screwed up. The film is as flat as a news broadcast. If you want to see it purely for Tom Hanks extraordinary acting, good luck.
Be Warned: Seeing films without a plot can be hazardous...
