Good film if you can stand tom hanks

Rating: Null/10 (18 March 2004)

Tom Hanks films are so melodramatically obvious. I hated that in Saving Private Ryan and the same goody-goody atmosphere exists here. Nevertheless it's a pretty good show and the performance by michael duncan as the brute with the power of life is mind-boggling. There was a sub-plot in the movie about the Percy character that made no sense. Sure the guy was a louse but what do you expect when you're 140 pounds and all the 200+ pound co-workers love to harrass you. The story was really about the saintly brute and they should have stayed with that. Incidentally, duncan got an oscar nomination for his incredible performance but i don't think he won it. I rate the fillum a B+.
