Great movie! Another amazing performance by Hanks.

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2001)

I really enjoyed this movie. I am glad that when hanks washes up on the deserted island they didn't load it up with all sorts of idiotic scenarios like pirates, or savage natives, or predators and such. It is just Hanks trying to survive the best he can all alone. He had plenty of time for soul searching to see what drives you to fight to stay alive. It makes you wonder how you would have done it if you were in his shoes.
The ending was different also from what you might expect. Its not all tidy happy ever after ending, which I liked. The reuniting of Hanks and Hunt at the end is very intense and touching that definitely tugs at you emotionally.
