In a world that is tired of long movies, this could have been the exception.

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2001)

Watching this film left me and my friends thinking that maybe the butcher accidently cut off some of the meat while he was trimming the fat. Tom Hanks did great... but that is part of the problem. I ended up wanting to know more about his four years. Seems like the studio/filmmaker/whoever was a little too occupied with keeping the movie around 2 1/2 hours and not enough time giving us what we were hungering for. Redeeming qualities? Well, let's just say Castaway features one of the best disaster sequences I have ever seen. This movie would have worked much better as a 3 hour flick or a mini series... Strange for me to say, but that's how I feel.
