Good

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2014)

Quickly rushed into production but still solid thanks to Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks is good when he is bad and good when he is good. It's worth watching this movie just to see Tom Hanks. Other thank Tom Hanks, the real centerpiece of the film is its acting; three performances in particular stick out. The movie is very light-hearted and it isn't complex at all. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them, just as I can accept Tom Hanks. This is not a great movie, but the cinematography is stark, with only the soundtrack adding some effect.
