Could it really be Tom Hanks?

Rating: 3/10 (17 August 2001)

Could this sad excuse for a movie really star Tom Hanks AND win awards. I'm confused. The plane crash scene has some great special effects (If I just gave away too much of the plot, watch the trailer again), but other than that this was a terrible movie. Mr. Hanks has been great in other roles, but playing the part of a man on a deserted island for several years is not only unrealistic, but just downright stupid. This is a disturbing trend for movies, if the only thing required to be nominated for lots of awards is a big name actor, a camera, and a volleyball, what is the world coming to?
