Overall very satisfied with this movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 January 2001)

Wow...what a rush! Can you imagine falling from 30,000 feet to the earth? The crash scene was really intense and Hank's interpretation of the utter helplessness felt by his character was superb. It's amazing how one's mind fixates on something important (gold watch) and one is willing to risk life and limb to obtain this object! It still amazes me how an actor can sacrifice so much while making a film. Hanks had to have lost 30 pounds or more to portray the nearly starved crazy 'Gilligan'. It was a little depressing towards the end when he gets rescued only to find that...well...see for yourself. Overall a very good movie and I would enjoy seeing it again!
