A great breezy drama working on the talent of its actor and director

Rating: Null/10 (19 December 2018)

Tom Hanks is an incredibly likeable actor and Spielberg is a master at pulling at our heartstrings so it should come as no surprise that The Terminal is a feel good movie that should uplift you for the entirety of its run time. The Terminal has a light tone that veers between comedy and drama. It is marginally more successful in the former arena; some of the scenes are very funny. Timing is critical any time a movie wants to make an audience laugh, and Spielberg knows how to deliver each punch-line. Hanks, who can veer effortlessly from heavy to breezy material. This is a great afternoon movie- one that is likely to make you feel good about yourself.
